Augrented Insights Report for 2250 Benson Avenue

The 73-unit, 6-story apartment building at 2250 Benson Avenue in Gravesend, owned by Marleen Levi and built in 1956, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of March 2024 affecting Unit 6G, including problems with a defective smoke detector, leaky bathroom faucet, and issues with plaster and paint. The building has also faced challenges with its safety systems, including open violations related to fire door self-closing mechanisms and compactor closet door issues identified in a March 2024 inspection.

Recent history shows recurring problems with building systems and safety compliance. There were two significant heat and hot water outages reported in February 2022, though these were resolved. More serious concerns emerged in 2025, including a currently active façade safety notification (as of December 2023) and a violation regarding a locked/blocked egress point from June 2025.

The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with violations in 2021 regarding inoperative components and inadequate alternate service. The building's maintenance record shows an ongoing pattern of delayed compliance with mandatory inspections and reports, particularly regarding the exterior wall cycle inspections (FISP) with active violations indicating failure to file required technical reports. Recent inspections have consistently shown the absence of bedbug and rodent infestations, with the last rodent inspection passed in 2012.
