Augrented Insights Report for 1577 1st Avenue

1577 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Wolfgang Fritsch. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of 2025, there have been recent heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

In 2023, serious concerns were raised regarding potential illegal hotel use of the building, particularly affecting Apartment 19, with multiple complaints filed in May and June 2023. This situation led to several Environmental Control Board violations with substantial penalties totaling $50,000, including failures to maintain proper fire safety systems, means of egress, and sprinkler systems for transient use. The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

Additionally, there have been multiple rodent activity inspections between 2022-2024, with evidence of rat activity noted in 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed without issue. While the owner obtained a permit in 2020 for unspecified modifications (Job Number: 123727404), the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with compliance and resident comfort. Recent bedbug and rodent inspections completed in 2024-2025 indicate improvements in some areas, with no current infestations reported, though the building continues to face heating system challenges as of early 2025.
