Augrented Insights Report for 1240 East 38th Street

1240 East 38th Street is a 4-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sam Klein and located in the Flatlands neighborhood. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, particularly relating to heat and hot water systems, with at least eight emergency complaints recorded between January and April 2025 regarding complete building outages. More recently, in May 2025, there were incidents involving electrical issues, including a power outage and problems with outlets or switches.

Water-related concerns were also documented in May 2025, with violations issued following a damp spot complaint. The building has active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021) and failure to display energy efficiency scores. Past inspection records from late 2023 and late 2024 identified various maintenance requirements, including lead paint concerns and several areas requiring painting throughout Apartment A5 and common areas.

A notable cluster of heat and hot water complaints occurred between February and April 2025, with HPD inspections often unable to confirm the lack of service as heat and hot water appeared to be restored during inspections. While there was one confirmed bedbug case reported in 2022-2023, subsequent reports show no infestation cases in 2023-2024. The building's history includes several property maintenance violations in 2019 related to construction documents and fire safety materials, though these appear to have been resolved.
