Augrented Insights Report for 472 Columbus Avenue

The 12-unit, 5-story building at 472 Columbus Avenue, owned by Joseph Aizer, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns since 2020, most notably regarding pest control and sanitation issues. Between early 2025 and recent inspections, there have been multiple complaints about window frames and an ongoing pest control issue, with the Housing Preservation Department (HPD) unable to complete inspections for some of these complaints.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has documented several rodent-related complaints between 2023-2024, though recent inspections in 2024 have passed. The building has undergone various repairs and maintenance tasks, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations and complaints. In 2022, violation notices were issued for issues in Apartment 3A, including problems with wall paint, metal surfaces, and fire escape obstructions.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2019-2025, with no documented cases of infestation or re-infestation across all filing periods. While recent rodent inspections from 2023-2024 have passed, there were documented rodent activity issues in 2022, suggesting fluctuating pest control challenges have been a recurring theme. The building's age (built in 1885) and status as an Old Law Tenement contribute to its unique maintenance history, which has included multiple categories of complaints ranging from unsanitary conditions to safety concerns, though many issues have been resolved through inspections and subsequent actions.
