Augrented Insights Report for 493 2nd Avenue

493 2nd Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit old law tenement building located in Kips Bay, built in 1920 and currently owned by Steve Croman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple complaints and violations emerging throughout 2024-2025. Most recently, in spring 2025, there were multiple unaddressed complaints about various building issues including rodent conditions, water leaks, plumbing problems, flooring concerns, and appliance issues. Several of these complaints were closed due to inability to access units for inspection.

The building has also experienced systemic water-related problems, with both slow and heavy leaks reported, and an ongoing pest issue documented in late 2024. The property has multiple open and unresolved violations as of 2025, including problems with water facilities, unsanitary conditions, and concerns about building systems. Notably, violations were recorded in 2024 regarding missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and an infestation of mice in apartment 9. Apartment 14 was documented with roof leak and peeling paint issues in early 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring patterns including wastewater issues, heat and hot water problems, and pest-related concerns. While the building benefits from regular rodent inspections, most recent inspections in 2024-2025 recorded rat activity. The property has demonstrated some pattern of delayed response to code violations, though emergency violations have been addressed more promptly. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations recorded from 2018-2024.
