Augrented Insights Report for 705 Columbus Avenue

The 26-story residential building at 705 Columbus Avenue, owned by David Bernhardt and completed in 1968, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water-related complaints in 2025 (four incidents between May 14-24), indicating ongoing concerns with the building-wide heating system. In 2024-2025, there were also issues with mold (May 2025), window panes (August 2024, July 2024), and various maintenance concerns in apartment 5A, including bathroom and kitchen repairs that required multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations to be addressed.

The building has undergone several inspections showing varying degrees of maintenance adherence, including a significant cluster of violations related to the parking structure's concrete and rebar conditions documented in 2023-2024 (with penalties totaling $15,000) and multiple failures to properly maintain required safety documentation. Recent records show relatively few issues with bedbug infestations, with none reported in the last two years (2023-2024), though there were three documented cases in 2022-2023. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections since mid-2022, with only two instances of rat activity detected in May 2022.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 indicate several compliance issues, including failure to maintain required safety documentation and structural concerns in the parking area. Multiple tenant safety inspections were conducted in late 2023, resulting in Oath Violations being served for non-compliance. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over time, recent inspections have generally shown improvements, though some violations remain active as of the latest available data.
