Augrented Insights Report for 1079 1st Avenue

At 1079 1st Avenue in Midtown, this 20-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 is currently facing multiple open violations as of May 2025, including unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage and fire escape safety issues. These recent complaints, filed in May 2025, are particularly concerning due to their potential impact on resident safety and sanitation. The building has a history of recurring fire escape issues, with previous complaints in 2024 showing similar safety concerns.

Additional maintenance violations include active issues as of 2024 regarding rust and paint conditions on the building's front facade, specifically on the north and east stacks, and problems with window AC units installed in the fire escape windows. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance actions over the past three years, with some violations being addressed while others remain open. Notable recent improvements include the resolution of several door-related issues in 2023-2024, such as repairs to self-closing doors at the vestibule and bulkhead.

The building has maintained a consistent record of responding to bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation across multiple reporting periods from 2020 to present. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent checks in 2025 and late 2024 showing compliance or passing results, though a rat activity notice was recorded in mid-2024. The property has faced some regulatory scrutiny, with Department of Buildings complaints in 2023-2024 regarding work without a permit and illegal storefront signage, though these matters appear to have been resolved.
