Augrented Insights Report for 688 10th Avenue

688 10th Avenue is a 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Andrew Elovic. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple building-wide complaints reported between December 2024 and February 2025, despite some complaints being closed due to lack of access for inspection.

These heating system problems appear to stem from more systemic issues, as evidenced by open violations from April 2024 regarding the building's heating system access. The Department of Buildings has also cited an inoperative boiler (as of April 2024) and a related ECB violation with a penalty of $625, though no balance is currently due. The building underwent a detailed inspection in October 2023, revealing several maintenance concerns, particularly in apartment 5N, including roof leaks and defective plastered surfaces.

April 2024 inspections identified issues in apartment 5R, including problems with water heater functionality and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Historically, while there were reports of bedbug infestations between 2018-2020, the building has maintained a clean record in this regard for the past four years, and recent rodent inspections from 2016-2025 have consistently passed. Two active violations remain related to an illegal storefront structure encroaching on the public right-of-way and related work without a permit from 2020, with an associated penalty of $625.
