Augrented Insights Report for 497 3rd Avenue

497 3rd Avenue is a 12-unit, five-story Old Law Tenement building in Kips Bay, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Ahron Freidus. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2023, including violations related to the intercom system, plumbing fixtures (toilets and sinks), and electrical outlets.

More recently, in June 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding flooring conditions, electrical systems, and a potentially concerning fire escape issue, with similar patterns of plumbing and electrical problems recurring. The building underwent structural scrutiny in 2021, leading to violations regarding wood girder deterioration, electrical system inadequacies, and tenant protection plan failures during construction work, though these were eventually resolved. A number of housing maintenance code violations have been documented, particularly affecting apartment 11 on the 5th story, including issues with plastered surfaces, doors, and various fixtures.

The building has shown consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2025, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past eight years (2018-2025). Multiple permits have been issued for work on the property between 2020 and 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair activities, including several emergency work permits in December 2023 and 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic building systems and tenant amenities, as evidenced by the frequency of service requests and violations, particularly relating to plumbing, electrical, and safety systems.
