Augrented Insights Report for 1561 East 13th Street

The 66-unit, 6-story building at 1561 East 13th Street in Midwood, owned by Nicholas Velic, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in May 2025. There was a notable pattern of heat and hot water issues during this period, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between May 1 and May 25. In addition to these heating system problems, there were multiple complaints regarding cabinet issues, and an intercom/buzzer problem in late May 2025.

More recently, in June 2025, there were two pest-related complaints filed. The building has a history of elevator service reliability concerns, with multiple complaints about the single elevator device between 2020-2023, though most inspections found no violations. The property has also faced various building maintenance issues, including violations related to roof leaks, plaster damage, and painting requirements, with some violations remaining open as of 2024.

In terms of illegal modifications, a 2024 inspection revealed unauthorized changes to Apartment E5 (water leak issues) and Apartment F6 (refrigerator gasket problem), while an investigation in 2023 noted unauthorized conversion of Apartment A2 from three rooms to two. While there have been past bedbug infestations, recent annual reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate that no units have been affected or re-infested. The building also has several open violations related to failure to submit required energy reports and benchmarking documentation for multiple years, as noted in the Department of Buildings records.
