Augrented Insights Report for 1561 2nd Avenue

1561 2nd Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Kayvan Hakim. The building has experienced persistent moisture-related issues, with multiple water leak complaints reported between March and April 2024, including both heavy and slow leaks that were classified as emergencies. These complaints were initially not accessible for inspection, though one slow leak complaint filed in March 2024 did receive inspection, with no violations issued.

The building has also shown recurring rodent issues, with multiple service requests and inspections between 2023 and 2025 indicating active rat activity and the need for bait application. A significant cluster of violations was documented in April 2024 concerning Apartment 4C, including problems with water leaks, wall conditions, and various repair needs, though all violations were certified as corrected by May 2024. More recent activity includes two food establishment complaints in 2025 related to pests and sanitation issues, and a rodent activity inspection in June 2025.

The building's recent history shows consistent rodent control efforts, with bait application recorded multiple times throughout 2024 and 2025, and two rodent activity inspections in 2024-2025 indicating ongoing concern. While the building has experienced maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture control and pest management, it has also shown responsiveness to housing maintenance code violations, as evidenced by prompt correction of April 2024 violations. The building's bedbug reporting history between 2020 and 2024 shows minimal infestation events, with only one unit reported as infested in 2021, though this was subsequently listed as eradicated.
