Augrented Insights Report for 1259 Park Avenue

1259 Park Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 located in East Harlem, currently owned by Bita Sassouni. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being recurring rodent and pest management challenges. From 2021 to 2024, there were multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food establishment conditions related to "Rodents/Insects/Garbage," and while these were marked as addressed upon administrative closure, they persistently appeared over multiple years.

The building underwent significant repairs and inspections in 2021, including plumbing work on bathrooms and toilets, ceiling repairs, and flooring issues, though no violations were ultimately issued. The property has documented numerous housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 3N between 2018-2021, where issues included defective plaster surfaces, electrical problems, and safety concerns such as missing window guards and non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors. In June 2019, a significant compliance matter was recorded regarding unauthorized occupancy of the cellar as a commercial kitchen, which led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations and fines, though these were subsequently resolved.

More recent inspections have shown improvement, with passed rodent inspections in 2025 and consistent bedbug reporting showing no infestations since 2020, though there was one instance of infestation noted in 2018. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspection activity, particularly regarding rodent control, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing compliance. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing periods.
