Augrented Insights Report for 20 5th Avenue

20 Fifth Avenue is a 17-story, 114-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by 20 Fifth Avenue LLC. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple DOHMH inspections confirming rat activity and the application of bait systems. The most recent evidence of this infestation was documented in July 2025 inspections showing ongoing rat activity. The building has also faced significant safety concerns in 2025, including multiple complaints regarding debris/building conditions suggesting falling hazards, and active violations related to the maintenance of AC units and their supports.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns. In 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks, though HPD inspections found no violations. A series of dangerous incidents occurred in mid-2024 during facade work, including worker injuries and safety violations related to scaffolding and equipment use, resulting in substantial penalties. The building's facade and window maintenance has been a persistent issue, with open violations as of 2025 regarding window AC unit installations and building wall maintenance. Historical records show previous concerns about building safety systems, including citations for insufficient smoke and carbon monoxide detector maintenance in 2016, though these violations were ultimately resolved.

While there were bedbug issues reported in 2021, subsequent annual reports from 2022-2024 showed no infestations, indicating successful eradication efforts. The property has a documented pattern of compliance inspections, particularly regarding rodent control, with multiple bait applications and follow-up inspections throughout 2024-2025. Recent structural monitoring and failure to maintain building walls have been highlighted as concerns in 2025 violations. The building's facade inspection requirements (FISP) have resulted in multiple active violations, including failures to file required reports and maintain public safety protections during repairs. While certain historical violations have been resolved, including those from 2021 regarding mold and 2016's various safety system issues, the building continues to face challenges with maintenance compliance and pest control as of July 2025.
