Augrented Insights Report for 328 West 85th Street

328 West 85th Street is a 6-story, 48-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Sam Cauchi. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concern being recurring heat and hot water outages. Between October 2023 and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate building-wide heat and hot water, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025 still indicating access issues for HPD inspections.

The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including a door/window issue in June 2024 that was resolved, and a rodent sighting in February 2024 that resulted in no violations. The building's violation history reveals several concerning trends. In late 2023, there were multiple violations related to heat supply and door mechanisms in apartments 5D and 6C, both of which were subsequently resolved. A notable violation was issued in November 2023 regarding an air conditioning unit obstructing fire escape egress at the 6th story balcony.

More systemically, the building's records show a pattern of heating system issues, with a Department of Buildings violation for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report in 2019 still listed as active. The elevator system has faced scrutiny as well, with a violation issued in 2019 for failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though this was dismissed in 2020. Recent bedbug reports indicate no infestation cases from 2020 through 2024, though previous years (2018-2020) showed some activity with two infested units recorded. The property has generally passed inspections for rodent activity, with only one instance of rat activity noted in September 2023, though regular inspections have typically shown compliance.
