Augrented Insights Report for 488 7th Avenue

488 7th Avenue is a 13-story, 104-unit residential building constructed in 1902, currently owned by Hersel Torkian. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat in 2024-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. There are also persistent plumbing problems, particularly related to water supply, with several service requests recorded throughout 2024.

The building has faced significant maintenance challenges, including mold issues (with violations issued in 2024), and more recently, reports of unsanitary conditions and rodent activity in early 2025. The structure has a history of building code violations and maintenance concerns, including an open violation from December 2024 regarding inadequate heating in apartment 6D, and a September 2024 violation for mold in apartment 8B. The property has experienced elevator service issues, with multiple complaints about "Out of Service" conditions recorded between 2018-2022, and there are active Building Department violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. Past violations include unauthorized alterations in 2019 involving the 11th-floor apartments, which were combined without proper permits, and a 2022 violation concerning the building's exterior walls and facade maintenance.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with no reported infestations from 2019 to present. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly concerning heating and water supply. The property underwent various repairs and maintenance projects between 2018-2021, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances for work including electrical, plumbing, and façade maintenance. While some historical violations have been resolved, several remain active, including issues related to building safety systems and general maintenance requirements.
