Augrented Insights Report for 59 Gelston Avenue

The 6-story, 76-unit building at 59 Gelston Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Salvatore Mattioli and constructed in 1960, has experienced recurring heat and hot water service issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple HPD complaints from January to April 2025 reporting these outages as affecting the entire building. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including infrastructure violations such as defective self-closing doors in fire stairs and compactor closet (December 2023), and a Cycle 8B Unsafe Report filed in July 2021 that remains active as of this report date.

Apartment 1J has documented multiple maintenance issues requiring attention as of January 2023, including plumbing problems, electrical system issues, and pest control needs. The property has a history of elevator service disruptions, with several complaints recorded between 2019-2022 regarding the elevator's single-device operation and lack of alternate service, leading to ECB violations and fines in 2019-2020.

During facade work in late 2019, multiple violations were issued related to pedestrian protection and scaffold safety, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent housing maintenance code violations from late 2023-2024 include building-wide heat/hot water issues, while the building's bedbug reporting history since 2021 shows minimal infestation activity, with three reported cases in 2021 being the most significant cluster before reporting zero infestations in subsequent periods. The building has steadily improved its rodent control situation over the years, with recent inspections passing consistently since 2019, though earlier inspections from 2014-2016 noted various issues that required correction.
