Augrented Insights Report for 225 5th Avenue

The 225 Fifth Avenue building is a 13-story, 187-unit commercial altered Class A structure owned by Christina Forbes and constructed in 1907 located in Midtown Manhattan. The building has experienced several notable events and complaints in recent years, including a heat and hot water complaint in May 2024 that could not be verified during HPD inspection. The property has undergone multiple food vendor-related incidents between 2023-2024, including complaints about smoke/odor, food source protection, and equipment issues that were all addressed by the NYC Health Department.

An environmental control board violation from 2020 regarding incomplete sprinkler system installation was resolved, with past violations regarding sprinkler reporting in 2019-2020. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with zero infested units reported in any period. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, including multiple permits issued between 2022-2024 for plumbing and electrical work.

The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a passing grade, continuing a trend of successful animal control inspections in previous years (2010, 2011, 2012). A housing maintenance violation from 2024 regarding a defective self-closing door in the public hall was documented, though specific details about its impact on resident safety or comfort are not available. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections, with compliance confirmed in 2020 inspections, and has maintained a general pattern of addressing and resolving filed complaints through appropriate channels, particularly those involving the Department of Buildings and Department of Health.
