Augrented Insights Report for 420 Ovington Avenue

420 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Jeff Sorkin. The building has experienced recurring issues with elevator service, as evidenced by multiple "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints throughout 2025, 2021, and previous years, though inspections often found no violations.

Recent health concerns include three smoking-related complaints in 2025 and a rodent sighting in January 2025, though a subsequent March 2025 inspection resulted in a "Passed" status. The property has a significant history of construction-related violations, particularly in 2020-2022, including issues with sidewalk sheds, unsafe conditions, and failure to provide proper pedestrian protection during facade work.

Multiple active violations regarding the failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions remain, along with a 2019 violation for not filing an energy benchmarking report. The building has undergone several permit issuances for alterations between 2019-2022, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvement work. The property has shown some improvement in rodent management, with recent inspections passing, though previous inspections in 2015 and earlier had "Failed for Other Reasons" results.
