Augrented Insights Report for 1556 York Avenue

1556 York Avenue is a 30-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Geoff Ringler. The building has experienced recurrent issues with pest problems, most notably with an open unsanitary condition regarding pests as of May 2025, and a similar complaint in March 2024 that was closed due to lack of access for inspection. Other significant maintenance concerns in the past two years include a water supply complaint in September 2023 (closed with no violations) and heat/hot water complaints in September 2023 and October 2020, though these were reportedly resolved.

A notable violation was issued in September 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the 5th-story roof bulkhead, and there is an active ECB violation from November 2022 concerning two trees with rotten limbs in the rear yard that potentially pose hazards to neighboring properties. The building's management has maintained regular rodent inspections, with all results showing compliance and passing inspections from at least 2012 through 2024. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 consistently show zero infested or eradicated units.

The property has demonstrated some lapses in compliance, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 regarding filing annual bedbug reports and a 2018 violation concerning inadequate lighting at the front entranceway. A debris complaint from April 2024 was investigated and found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection. While many historical issues appear to have been addressed, the persistent pest problems in 2024-2025 and the open violations regarding the roof doors and tree hazards represent the most current maintenance challenges facing the building.
