Augrented Insights Report for 2685 Homecrest Avenue

2685 Homecrest Avenue is a 76-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints reported in December 2024, November 2022, and January 2022, though in each case, heat and hot water were reportedly restored shortly after tenant complaints.

More recently, in 2023-2024, the building has faced multiple plumbing-related issues, including water leaks (both slow and heavy flow) and water supply problems, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building underwent various safety and maintenance inspections in early 2024, resulting in several violations, including electrical safety concerns in apartments 2E and 3J, and multiple violations in apartment 6G related to pests, electrical outlets, bathroom conditions, window repairs, and smoke detector issues. The building's history includes a significant maintenance event in 2018 involving scaffold safety violations during facade repairs, with associated fines totaling $4,990.00, as well as an elevator-related issue in 2020 that resulted in a $625.00 penalty for maintenance concerns.

The property has been subject to rodent activity investigations in recent years, with both January and March 2024 inspections indicating rat activity. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, with records showing only one occurrence in 2017 that was resolved. The building's maintenance history also shows periodic issues with various general conditions, including unsanitary conditions and signage problems, though many of these issues have been addressed and closed through inspection processes.
