Augrented Insights Report for 525 3rd Avenue

525 3rd Avenue, a 10-story, 85-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and owned by Thomas Fan, is currently experiencing significant maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems. From December 2024 through May 2025, there have been multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints, including two recent complaints in May 2025 and March 2025 regarding entire building heat outages. The building has also faced persistent infrastructure challenges, evidenced by multiple violations related to heat and hot water systems.

Additionally, the property has been dealing with water-related issues, including a slow leak and mold problems reported in February 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, with active violations related to boiler inspections and an unsafe facade condition (LL11/98) from 2022. Recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple rat activity reports between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent March 2025 inspection passed.

The building's two apartments (2A and 2B) have documented violations regarding hot water availability and various maintenance issues including plaster surfaces and door repairs. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2018. The property has active Department of Buildings complaints as of 2025 regarding illegal conversion and an illegal storefront sign, though these are under investigation. While there have been several complaints about work without permits between 2020-2021, inspections found no violations warranted at those times.
