Augrented Insights Report for 1270 5th Avenue

1270 5th Avenue is a 14-story, 201-unit residential building constructed in 1959, currently managed by owner Kathleen Fontana. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns around pest control and water-related problems. Most notably, there have been two recent pest-related violations in 2024 (September and May), with current rodent activity concerns as of August 2024, and a bedbug infestation report showing 3 affected units between November 2023 and October 2024.

The property has a history of water-related issues, having faced multiple leaks between 2021 and 2024, including heavy water flow and damp spot complaints. Several emergency violations were recorded in 2021, including mold issues in Apartment 15S, which was later upgraded to a Class B violation. The building has also encountered heating system problems, with emergency complaints in both 2019 and 2023-2024.

Recent inspection records show ongoing maintenance activities, including electrical work, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2024 for various improvements. There have been some concerning trends regarding resident comfort and safety, including electrical work conducted without proper permits in 2024, though this issue was subsequently addressed. The building's history includes periodic compliance inspections that usually show no violations or have been resolved, though there have been multiple open or unresolved violations as of the most recent inspections, particularly concerning mold, water damage, and pest control. The property has demonstrated an inconsistent inspection history, with some periods showing significant maintenance issues (2021 being particularly problematic), while recent inspections in 2023-2024 have generally shown improvements, though not all violations have been fully resolved.
