Augrented Insights Report for 1279 1st Avenue

At 1279 1st Avenue, a 6-story, 52-unit New Law Tenement built in 1920, several recurring infrastructure and safety issues have emerged over the past few years. The building has experienced multiple elevator maintenance issues, with inspections in 2024-2025 showing concerns about the single-device elevator system and no alternate service. Both heat and hot water problems were reported in December 2023, affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has also faced challenges with indoor air quality, with complaints filed in October 2024 resulting in advisories to the property owner. Recent inspection results indicate building maintenance efforts, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing PASSED results, suggesting improved vermin control. However, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in late 2024, particularly regarding lead paint hazard compliance and door self-closing mechanisms.

Historical concerns from 2019-2020 included several violations related to building safety, including obstructed emergency exits and unauthorized construction work. The building's bedbug reports consistently show zero affected units from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over time, recent inspections suggest some improvement in building conditions, though certain violations remain open as of 2024-2025.
