Augrented Insights Report for 1656 3rd Avenue

The 50-unit, five-story Old Law Tenement at 1656 3rd Avenue in the Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ben Ohebshalom, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating ongoing problems with both apartment-only and building-wide systems. Most recently, in January 2025, HPD was unable to access apartments for inspection following heat complaints, similar to a November 2024 incident, though some earlier complaints were reported as resolved by tenants. Water-related issues have also been documented, with complaints in 2022-2021 about slow and heavy leaks, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, consistently indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, and notable rodent activity has been recorded in recent inspections, with the latest being in May 2025 showing rat activity, following similar findings in November 2024 and September 2024. The building's historical record shows attention to various maintenance issues, including intercom system problems in 2022 and sanitary concerns in 2018. Bedbug reporting requirements have been met regularly, with filings showing no pest activity since 2019-2020.

While some violations were noted in 2024-2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, these were closed following subsequent inspections. The persistence of heat and water issues, especially in the most recent 2024-2025 period, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though many complaints have been resolved promptly or deemed non-emergency. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted since 2019, with varying results regarding activity levels, including bait application in 2019 and multiple reports of rat activity in recent years.
