Augrented Insights Report for 557 Avenue Z

At 557 Avenue Z in Gravesend, this 120-unit, 6-story building constructed in 1951 has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident through multiple complaints in 2024 and early 2025. Between October 2023 and March 2025, there were seven documented incidents of heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building, with tenants consistently reporting that services were restored before HPD inspections could be conducted.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including a cluster of violations found in November 2024 regarding defective latches on compactor doors across multiple floors, which were subsequently certified as corrected in December 2024. The property has an ongoing history of elevator-related concerns, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2023 regarding the single elevator service and violations discovered during inspections, including a 2023 penalty related to governor seals, cab mirror alignment, and unauthorized equipment in the machine room.

Though most recent elevator-related complaints have been resolved, there are active violations concerning the failure to submit required inspection reports (FISP Cycle 8 and 9C Technical Reports) from 2019 and 2024, respectively. The building has also experienced periodic pest issues, with documented bedbug infestations in several units between 2019 and 2024, though all affected units were reported as treated and eradicated. Recent health department inspections in 2024 confirmed the building passed rodent inspections.
