Augrented Insights Report for 870 East 28th Street

870 East 28th Street is a 3-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Rachel Hochhauser, classified as a New Law Tenement located in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn. The property has experienced recurrent issues with heat and hot water, particularly in early 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed for inadequate heating throughout the entire building, with violations ultimately issued by HPD.

These heating problems were documented in February 2024 and worsened through April 2024, marking a concerning pattern of persistence. The building also faced pest control challenges, with several complaints regarding rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions in 2023, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify the conditions, except for one incident in May 2023 where issues were reportedly fixed. A significant inspection in May 2024 revealed multiple housing maintenance code violations, including deficiencies in safety notice postings related to gas leaks, carbon monoxide detection requirements, smoke detector requirements, and bedbug reporting compliance.

Additional concerns were identified regarding fire escape egress obstructed by flower pots, and specific unit violations were noted for Apartment 2C, including issues with a missing carbon monoxide detector and a defective self-closing door. While the building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting records showing zero infestations or eradications from 2019 through 2025, the recent history of heating problems, safety violations, and pest control issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Most recent inspections related to rodent control from September 2023 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management.
