Augrented Insights Report for 696 9th Avenue

696 9th Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns involving heating systems, including a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in December 2023 that required follow-up inspections, and ongoing stair maintenance concerns noted in September 2024.

There has been a recurring pattern of plumbing and sanitary issues, including a mold complaint in June 2024 and multiple rodent control interventions, with bait application cases documented between February and July 2024. The building has been subject to several notable violations regarding habitability and safety standards, particularly during 2021 when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued, including serious concerns about illegal transient use, inadequate means of egress, and missing sprinkler systems in Apartment 2R, for which penalties totaling $31,250 were imposed.

Recent inspections in 2025 and July 2024 have shown improvements in pest control compliance, though there continue to be open violations from June 2024 concerning maintenance issues in Apartment 5R, including problems with bathroom caulking, self-closing doors, and window repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows no infestations, indicating effective management of this particular issue, and recent Housing Maintenance Code inspections have noted various but generally promptly addressed maintenance concerns.
