Augrented Insights Report for 172 Bay 31st Street

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 172 Bay 31st Street in Gravesend, owned by Semyon Levin and constructed in 1908, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple tenant complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between March and April 2025. Most recently, in April 2025 alone, there were three separate complaints about heating and hot water issues, although in two cases inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection, and in one case heat and hot water were reportedly restored before the inspection.

The building has also been subject to various maintenance issues, with a significant cluster of complaints recorded in June 2025, including problems with doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and the presence of mold, as indicated by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints. Three open class "C" violations from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing safety and maintenance concerns, including issues with self-closing doors in the first-story vestibule and roof access, as well as a gas leak notification requirement that remains unaddressed according to 2023 inspection records. The building's history includes several notable violations and infractions, with three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020 relating to occupancy issues, blocked passageways, and unauthorized alterations involving Apartment 7, though these were under a different management company (Alvic Management Inc).

Previous maintenance concerns were documented in 2024 related to plumbing and electrical issues. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2019, with all annual reports showing zero infested or re-infested units. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no current rodent issues.
