Augrented Insights Report for 1596 3rd Avenue

The 5-story, 16-unit building at 1596 3rd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by David Simhaee, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most concerning is a cluster of health department complaints related to animal facilities, with multiple unsanitary conditions reported between March 2024 and May 2025, including ongoing complaints about animal odor and waste.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with multiple violations in Apartment 2B including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, stove safety features, bathroom ventilation, and floor conditions, though many of these violations were eventually closed or resolved. The property has a mixed record of rodent inspections, with some showing rat activity as recently as 2024, though most recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Building systems have experienced various failures, including water leaks, mold, and issues with appliances and flooring.

The building's history also shows multiple complaints about illegal commercial use and construction work, though inspections typically found no violations. A concerning pattern emerged in 2024-2025 with multiple food safety complaints, including a food poisoning incident and allergy information issues. Despite its age (built in 1910), the building has maintained regular porperty inspections and compliance checks, including successful bedbug reporting records showing no infestations in recent years.
