Augrented Insights Report for 40 5th Avenue

40 Fifth Avenue is a 15-story, 80-unit residential building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by David Ferber. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around water management and rodent control. In January 2024, the Department of Health issued violations related to rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and failed compliance results throughout early 2024, though a passed inspection in August 2024 suggests recent improvements. Water-related issues have also been prominent, with HPD responding to both slow leak and water supply problems in 2024, following similar concerns about heat/hot water and plumbing issues reported in September 2021.

The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance activities, including five Tenant Safety Inspections between 2019 and 2022, all of which found no violations at the time of inspection. There was one active Facade (LL11/98) - Unsafe Notification from April 2022. Recent construction-related concerns include multiple complaints in 2023 about construction safety compliance, with at least one oath violation served in September 2023. Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety were issued in 2023 for issues including unmaintained sidewalk shed conditions.

The building has consistently reported no bedbug incidents in its annual reporting, maintaining a record of zero infested units since 2018. The property has had various repair and maintenance work permits issued between 2019 and 2020, covering plumbing and electrical work among other tasks. Multiple inspections and service requests have been filed for various issues, including plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance concerns, with most being resolved through inspection and correction, though some required multiple follow-ups. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, particularly regarding water management and pest control, though recent inspections have shown some improvement in these areas.
