Augrented Insights Report for 1485 1st Avenue

1485 First Avenue is a 6-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Lee Rothman. The property has experienced several recurring issues related to heat and water systems, with documented complaints in 2023 and 2021 regarding heating problems affecting the entire building and individual apartments. Recent violations include excessively hot water temperatures (over 130 degrees) at all fixtures in Apartment 4D, and multiple open violations from 2021 involving water leaks affecting various areas including the east wall in Apartment 4D and ceilings in public areas.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2025, though inspections typically found no violations. There have been several maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including mold concerns, plumbing problems, and various painting/plastering issues. The elevator system's reliability has been a significant concern over the years, with numerous complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2018 and 2025. While the building experienced multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2021, including ones related to water leaks and heating systems, many of these were resolved through appropriate inspections and repairs.

Recent inspections show consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in early 2023. The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no documented infestations in recent years. Environmental violations were documented in 2018-2019 related to pedestrian protection and elevator certifications, though these were resolved with penalties paid. The property has also exhibited some structural concerns, with complaints about building shaking/vibrating reported in 2023, though inspections found no violations warranting further action.
