Augrented Insights Report for 1953 70th Street

1953 70th Street is a 55-unit, four-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Jose Benitez. The property has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple HPD complaints filed on June 3, including problems with the bell/intercom system, pest infestations, electrical issues, mold, water leaks, flooring concerns, and door problems. These complaints remained unresolved as HPD was unable to complete inspections.

The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, with the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints from June 2025 indicating emergency issues with doors, electric lighting, and multiple plumbing problems including toilets and a water leak. The building's inspection history reveals several problematic patterns, including a Class C violation in October 2024 for rodent infestation in Apartment B11, and various repair needs documented in Apartments B10 and A6, including water leaks, plumbing issues, and damaged surfaces. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the years, with active violations related to low pressure inspection filings through 2024, and historical boiler issues noted in 2020 and 2022.

Fire safety concerns were documented in October 2024 regarding items obstructing fire escapes. While no recent bedbug infestations have been reported (2021-2024), and rodent inspections in 2018, 2022, and 2023 passed, the building's current and recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and basic maintenance requirements. The most recent permit on record was issued in 2018 for work valued at $20,000.
