Augrented Insights Report for 796 Avenue Of The Amer

The 36-story residential building at 796 Avenue of the Americas, owned by James O'Brien and constructed in 2003, has experienced recurring infrastructure issues related to heat, hot water, and cooking gas systems throughout recent years. Most notably, from October 2024, there have been multiple simultaneous complaints regarding heat/hot water for the entire building and cooking gas throughout the property, with some violations issued related to hot water and gas supply in apartment 7H. The building has shown persistent heat and hot water system challenges, with similar complaints dating back to 2023-2024.

Other maintenance issues have included problems with an electric/gas range, refrigerator, and various appliance concerns, with some inspection access issues complicating resolution efforts. The property has a documented history of elevator maintenance violations, particularly in 2019, when the elevator system failed to meet required safety standards, resulting in penalties and subsequent corrections. Between 2020 and 2021, there were several violations related to construction safety and pedestrian protection, primarily focused on sidewalk shed and scaffolding conditions during façade work, with penalties totaling over $7,000.

Bedbug reports indicate three instances of infestation between 2021-2024, though all units required eradication. The building maintains a clean record for rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014. Current active violations (as of 2024) include multiple years' failure to submit required elevator maintenance documentation, which remains unresolved. Recent permit activity shows regular maintenance work being performed, with the latest permits issued in January 2025.
