Augrented Insights Report for 178 Gelston Avenue

The two-family house at 178 Gelston Avenue in Fort Hamilton, owned by Iluminada Gubatan, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily related to heating and hot water systems.

Between 2019 and 2021, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems, with several instances where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to investigate the reported issues. In late 2021, the building experienced three safety-related complaints within a short period, including issues with a broken or missing window guard and concerns about the fire escape, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspections.

A notable set of violations was documented in November 2019 for the second-story apartment, including problems with the kitchen waste line connection, inadequate heating supply, and water temperature exceeding 130 degrees at all fixtures, though these were certified as resolved by December 2019. More recent records from 2020-2023 show no further heating or plumbing complaints, suggesting an improvement in these recurring issues, though there remains an open rodent-related complaint from April 2020 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
