Augrented Insights Report for 96 5th Avenue

96 5th Avenue is an 18-story residential building in Chelsea, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Jane Goldman, containing 223 units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern around heat and hot water systems. Between October 2024 and July 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, including emergency violations for water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 8F.

Additional maintenance issues included ventilation problems (both general and specific to the system) in 2024, a water leak with violations issued in July 2024, and various complaints regarding flooring and other general conditions. The building underwent facade inspection and maintenance work that raised several safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded in 2019 through 2024 related to the facade condition, including bulging or cracked sections posing potential hazards. The most recent facade-related complaints in 2025 addressed issues with sidewalk sheds and debris concerns, leading to violations being served. The property has shown responsiveness to pest control issues, with only one reported case of bed bugs in the 2023-2024 reporting period, which was promptly eradicated.

Historical inspection records from 2010-2012 show consistent rodent control compliance. The Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development records indicate ongoing attention to various maintenance matters, with multiple violations being addressed and closed. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by the certification of correction for several issues, though some active violations remain related to the 2019-2022 facade inspection requirements. The property has also maintained its basic safety systems, with no recent complaints about lighting, plumbing, or electrical systems since 2024.
