Augrented Insights Report for 965 1st Avenue

965 First Avenue, a 38-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1934 in Midtown and currently owned by Charles Alpert, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most concerning are the current open complaints from May 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, and June 2025 regarding water supply issues. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple complaints related to pests/rodents in 2024-2025, including documented rat activity as recently as 2025.

The property has a troubling history of elevator service issues, with numerous complaints recorded between 2022-2023 regarding single device service and maintenance problems, though inspections found no violations. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed violations requiring correction, including an infestation issue in apartment 6D, and multiple issues with self-closing doors throughout the building's chute and entrance areas. The building's maintenance history shows repeated plumbing issues, including at least two emergency service requests in 2022-2023, and problems with heating and hot water systems affecting unit 6D.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent results showing active rat activity in early 2025. Various environmental control board violations were recorded between 2021-2022, including issues with exterior walls, fire safety systems, and improper dryer installations in the basement area. While the building has shown some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, there was one instance of infestation recorded in 2021-2022, though subsequent reports show no further occurrences through 2024.
