Augrented Insights Report for 1072 East 39th Street

The two-family house at 1072 East 39th Street in Flatlands, owned by Joseph Gunter, has a significant history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during 2020 when multiple emergency and non-emergency violations were documented. During February and March 2020, the building experienced numerous issues including water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), heat and hot water problems, ceiling damage, and unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold. While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during this period found no violations, these complaints indicated notable maintenance challenges.

More recently, in March 2023, there were significant safety concerns with two construction-related complaints, including building shaking/vibrating issues and construction enforcement matters, though inspections did not warrant violations. The property also faces unresolved building compliance issues related to its rear exit doorway arrangement, as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021-2022, with penalties totaling over $9,000. These violations indicate ongoing concerns about the building's code compliance and emergency egress systems.

Additionally, there remains an active DOB violation from March 2023 regarding a potentially dangerous adjacent property garage, and several past violations (2020-2021) related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions, though many were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The most recent complaint was filed in July 2023 regarding standing water on the driveway, but this was investigated and found not to warrant any violations. While the building has shown some improvement since the critical period of 2020, there remain multiple outstanding compliance issues that have persisted over several years, particularly concerning egress and code compliance matters. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1920) and the pattern of maintenance issues observed in both 2020 and 2023, tenant experience regarding building maintenance and safety infrastructure appears to have been a persistent concern at this property.
