Augrented Insights Report for De Kalb Avenue

The four-story, five-unit building at De Kalb Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Benny Breuer, has experienced significant water-related issues since October 2023, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks and plumbing problems documented by both HPD and 311. These recent incidents, including sewage odors and a sewage leak, suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges that may impact resident comfort and safety.

The building has also faced structural maintenance issues, as evidenced by housing maintenance code violations in late 2023 requiring repairs to water leaks and plaster surfaces in apartment 4B, along with a documented water accumulation problem in apartment 1A's lower level. During the construction phase between late 2019 and 2020, the project experienced various compliance challenges, including multiple stop work orders, safety violations, and issues with construction site maintenance that resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations against KNG Builders Inc.

These violations, while resolved, included concerns about roof protection, chimney compliance, and inadequate pedestrian protection during construction. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history since 2020, with no documented infestations recorded in any unit over the past four reporting periods, indicating successful maintenance of pest control protocols. While the property underwent regular inspections and received various permits during construction, the recent pattern of water-related complaints suggests potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
