Augrented Insights Report for 1485 East 16th Street

The six-story, 54-unit building at 1485 East 16th Street in Midwood, owned by Kelvin Swarth, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between February and March 2025, affecting the entire building. While some complaints were resolved upon inspection, violations were issued during the March 2025 complaint.

Other notable recent maintenance issues include plumbing problems in May 2025, and various inspection attempts in 2025 that covered water leaks, wall conditions, and flooring concerns, though many inspections were either completed with no violations found or required resubmission of complaints for access reasons. The building has a history of elevator-related concerns, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2019 and 2024, though inspections consistently found no violations. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 regarding door lock monitoring was resolved with a $1,250 penalty.

A series of housing maintenance code violations were documented between 2017 and 2023, including issues in apartment 2C regarding water leaks, wall conditions, and door functionality, as well as fire escape obstruction violations in 2019 and safety device concerns in apartment 6D in 2018. The building's pest control record shows consistent reporting of zero bedbug incidents from 2021 to 2025, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 passed successfully, though there were failures noted in 2014-2016. The most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 shows no infestations or eradicated units, suggesting successful pest management practices.
