Augrented Insights Report for 221-15 Hempstead Avenue

221-15 Hempstead Avenue is a 20-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1934 and currently owned by Majam LLC. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with multiple complaints filed by tenants regarding these conditions. The most recent cluster of complaints occurred in late 2024, with service requests filed on November 30 and December 2, 2024, regarding building-wide heating problems that were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

Between November 2023 and December 2024, there were at least ten documented incidents of heating system failures affecting the entire building or individual units. In addition to heating problems, the building has faced other maintenance challenges. There were two mold-related complaints in 2024, one of which was documented in May and another in February.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections but did not issue violations for these complaints. The building experienced various code violations in early 2024, including issues with self-closing doors and security measures, particularly at the bulkhead door to the roof on the 3rd story, which was documented as a Class C violation. A notable Department of Buildings (DOB) violation regarding failure to file a 2021 external low-pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and remains active. However, inspections for bedbugs have consistently shown zero infestation cases from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
