Augrented Insights Report for 1407 78th Street

1407 78th Street is a 4-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bensonhurst and owned by Gary Wachtel. Built in 1922, the property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, with particular concerns regarding sanitation and heating systems.

Most notably, between November 2024 and June 2025, there have been multiple heating and hot water-related complaints, including building-wide outages in November 2024, though some were resolved upon inspection. The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 indicating rat activity, including a failed compliance inspection in March 2025. Recent inspection findings from December 2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment C3, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken floor tiles, and issues with garbage storage in the public areas.

The building's owners currently face multiple active violations related to the failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, dating back to 2018-2024, with associated penalties totaling $6,250. Historical complaints dating back to 2019 have included concerns about building stability, unauthorized work, and excessive debris, though access issues often prevented thorough inspections. The property has undergone several HPD inspections in response to tenant complaints, resulting in multiple violation notices and follow-up requirements for the owner to address the identified conditions.
