Augrented Insights Report for 501 Columbus Avenue

501 Columbus Avenue, a 28-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building from 1887 located in the Upper West Side, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of July 2025. Most notably, there is an open heat/hot water complaint filed in May 2025, and the building has a history of recurring heating system problems, with several heat/hot water complaints documented in both 2024 and 2025. The property has shown persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in apartment 4E, which was inspected in December 2024 and found to have multiple violations including defective electrical outlets, window issues, visible mold, pest infestation (roaches), and problems with heating water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

The building has also experienced various infrastructure concerns, including door/window problems, plumbing issues, and electrical concerns. The property has a documented history of pest problems, with rodent activity recorded in 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections in September 2024 and May 2024 passed. While the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program with consistent reporting and no reported infestations since 2020, the overall maintenance record raises concerns.

Previous violations related to unsafe exit passageways and fire escape obstructions were noted in 2019, though some of these violations were resolved or dismissed. The building's history includes several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for inspections, as seen in complaints regarding building shaking (2023), gas hook-up/piping (2020), and others. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with apartment maintenance, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and various repairs needed in apartment 4E.
