Augrented Insights Report for 309 3rd Avenue

The 18-story Crystal House building at 309 3rd Avenue, built in 1972 and owned by Kathleen Fontana, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most recently, in late 2024/2025, there has been an ongoing concern with a window frame issue, though HPD was unable to complete their inspection (April 2025). Significant events from 2023-2024 include complaints about electrical wiring (October 2023), building stability concerns (July 2024), and various issues related to the privately owned public space.

The building underwent substantial work in 2022, which generated multiple violations related to construction safety compliance and scaffold use, though most were resolved by 2023. Between 2018-2020, the property faced several violations regarding maintenance of exterior elements and public space compliance, including issues with window conditions, lighting, and various façade elements. The building's recent history shows consistent pest control management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2024), and successful rodent inspections in 2025 and 2019.

While there have been periodic rodent activity reports in 2016 and 2017, the building has generally maintained compliance with health department standards. The current ownership has actively addressed violations as they arise, with most recent complaints being resolved through proper channels, though some recent inspection attempts have been unsuccessful. The building remains under active monitoring by various city agencies, with the most recent bedbug and rodent inspections passing without incident, suggesting improved overall pest management in recent years.
