Augrented Insights Report for 420 Avenue U

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 420 Avenue U in Gravesend, built in 1931, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, currently owned by 420 Ave U LLC. Most notably, there is an active pattern of violations regarding External Low Pressure Inspection filings, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 and three others in 2023, suggesting ongoing oversight of mandatory safety inspections.

The building underwent a significant period of infrastructural challenges in 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed between May and June of that year, including problems with heating/hot water, electricity (with multiple reports of no lighting), and cooking gas issues, though most were resolved without violations being issued. Additional maintenance issues have included a garbage/recycling storage problem in 2019 that resulted in violations, and a door/window issue that required emergency attention in June 2020.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases between 2019-2020 and 2022-2023, showing effective pest management practices. While the building's age and history show typical urban residential maintenance challenges, the most pressing current concern appears to be the pattern of unfiled External Low Pressure Inspection violations, which have remained active since 2023, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with this particular safety requirement. The building's emergency response to various infrastructure issues in 2020 demonstrates that management has addressed immediate tenant concerns as they arise, though the frequency of complaints during that period raises questions about the property's systems during that time frame.
