Augrented Insights Report for 5221 Flatlands Avenue

The 24-unit, 3-story residential building at 5221 Flatlands Avenue, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Lin Flats Realty LLC, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, violations were issued for a broken window guard and an entrance door issue, with the window guard violation classified as Class C for apartment 1H.

The building has a concerning pattern of outstanding violations related to building safety requirements, including an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding energy benchmarking and efficiency requirements dating between 2020-2021, with at least eight such violations recorded. The property has a history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints in January 2024 and February 2021, though the 2021 issue was reported as resolved by tenants during HPD's response.

Other reported issues include various maintenance concerns in 2023 (water leak, electric lighting problems, and ceiling paint/plaster issues), which were investigated by HPD with no violations issued, as well as an indoor air quality complaint in March 2023 that resulted in a notification to management. Notably, a significant violation was issued in October 2024 regarding the failure to submit the required parking structure observation report, carrying a substantial penalty of $12,500. The building has also faced multiple challenges with building safety compliance, including self-closing door requirements and smoke detector notice postings, though many of these issues appear to have been closed following inspections, including several sanitation-related violations in 2021.
