Augrented Insights Report for 853 7th Avenue

The 13-story, 96-unit New Law Tenement building at 853 7th Avenue, owned by Andrew Moses and constructed in 1906, has experienced significant heating and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January 18 and February 11 regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, though most inspections did not find violations. The building currently has several open violations from 2024, primarily involving Unit 6D, including issues with window panes, smoke detector deficiencies, and carbon monoxide detector problems.

Additional concerns were noted regarding building facade maintenance in 2023-2024, with violations for loose bricks, spalling, and damaged window frames on multiple exposures. The property has an active ECB violation from January 2024 regarding failure to file an acceptable amended cycle 8B report, imposing a $6,250 penalty.

A series of inspections between 2022-2024 revealed recurring issues with the sidewalk shed and scaffolding conditions, though many were dismissed as no violations warranted. The building's environmental records show consistent passing results for rodent inspections from 2010-2022, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the last report from 2021 showing zero affected units. While several permit applications have been filed between 2018-2025 for various repairs and maintenance work, the building appears to be facing ongoing challenges with both heating systems and facade maintenance, which have resulted in multiple violations in recent years.
