Augrented Insights Report for 1296 3rd Avenue

1296 Third Avenue is a 20-story, 136-unit residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Richard Cacciato. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in May 2025, including asbestos concerns and violations related to slow water leaks and flooring problems. Between 2023-2025, there have been multiple incidents of mold (four documented cases), water-related issues (one heavy flow and one slow leak), and various maintenance matters affecting different building systems, including plumbing (basin/sink), paint/plaster, and flooring/stairs.

Notably, five Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of 2023, specifically concerning multiple plastered surface and painting requirements in Apartment 3E that were cited in September 2023. The building's history also includes some infrastructure concerns, with several Department of Buildings inspections noting issues related to construction safety compliance and various environmental violations between 2019 and 2024. A facade work violation from August 2023 carries a $1,250 penalty, and there are ongoing compliance issues regarding permit sign-offs.

While the building has maintained an active status for rodent inspections, passing all required checks since 2018 except for a failure noted in 2017, it has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports since 2018. The property has undergone various permitted work, primarily related to elevator and facade systems, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021, including elevator modernization in 2020. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2021 and 2022 found no violations at the time of inspection, though there have been numerous emergency complaints requiring attention. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine and emergency issues, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspection dates, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance across various building systems.
