Augrented Insights Report for 243 78th Street

Fairfax House, a 6-story, 60-unit Class A residential building located at 243 78th Street in Bay Ridge, was constructed in 1940 and is currently owned by Julian Vaci. The building has experienced ongoing elevator maintenance issues over recent years, with violations issued in 2024 and 2023 related to various problems including pit condition, lighting, and mechanical issues, resulting in fines totaling $2,030.

A significant cluster of violations was documented for Apartment 6E in 2018, including mold problems, bathroom tile issues, and multiple problems with plastered surfaces that required repair and repainting. More recent concerns include a door-related complaint in early 2024, though no violations were found following an HPD inspection.

Currently, there is an active violation regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores on the property, and historical records show the building has consistently maintained a bedbug-free status, with zero reported infestations or treatments required since at least 2018. The elevator system appears to be an ongoing concern, with repeated violations and inspections between 2019 and 2024, though some previous violations were resolved or dismissed, including a 2017 inspection issue that was completed on time.
