Augrented Insights Report for 1522 55th Street

The 6-story, 54-unit apartment building at 1522 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by Joseph Schweid and constructed in 1931, has experienced several ongoing maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2025. Recent complaints and violations include plumbing issues (basin/sink), door/frame problems, pests, and multiple instances of unsanitary conditions between February and April 2025, with associated HPD violations.

The building currently has open violations related to window repairs and pest infestations in apartment 4H from December 2024. Multiple active DOB violations as of 2023-2024 indicate failure to file required external low pressure inspections for several consecutive years, and a failure to file the energy use benchmarking report.

Historical records show some concerning events from recent years, including building shake concerns in 2023 (inspector unable to gain access), and serious safety violations in 2020 related to egress blockages and elevator issues, which resulted in ECB violations for obstructing hallways with stored items. The building has maintained a pest-free record according to the bedbug reporting system from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units during this period. While the recent violations show ongoing maintenance issues, previous pattern of more serious safety violations related to egress and elevator operation in 2020 would suggest some level of improvement in building operations, though the persistence of similar maintenance issues into 2025 raises questions about promptness of repairs and timely response to violations.
