Augrented Insights Report for 1199 East 53rd Street

The 1199 East 53rd Street building, owned by Anita Zenelaj, is a 6-story, 156-unit Class A apartment building in Flatlands, constructed in 1966. The property has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past year, with the most pressing concerns being ongoing investigations into construction lead dust in common areas and apartments as of May 2025, and a recent indoor air quality issue involving chemical vapors in March 2025. Between February and March 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding water leaks, mold, and flooring issues, with Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to complete inspections in several cases. The building has also faced recurrent heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and 2025.

The property has several open violations and pending issues that require attention. As of April 2025, there are active complaints regarding general building maintenance, with particular concerns about the exterior facade, including cracked windows and damaged mortar joints. The building has experienced elevator issues, with a single device violation in late 2024. Historical data shows previous problems with heat and hot water systems, and there were significant bedbug infestations reported in 2019, though recent reports from 2022-2023 indicate zero infestations.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of July 2025, including issues with flooring, door mechanisms, and fire safety infrastructure. Regular inspection and repair work has been documented through the issuance of multiple permits from 2018 to 2025, specifically for emergency repairs. The building has undergone several compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 and has multiple Building Department violations related to failure to maintain the building and submit required safety reports. The most recent inspections from 2023-2025 have focused on building facade maintenance, safety systems, and compliance with various housing codes.
