Augrented Insights Report for 1486 5th Avenue

The five-story, 10-unit residential building at 1486 5th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Lilli Armstrong, has a concerning pattern of recent maintenance issues and violations. Most notable are the current open violations from October 2024 regarding mouse infestations and defective self-closing doors in Apartment 3S, along with violations pertaining to public hall conditions on the 5th story.

The building has multiple active violations as of June 2023 related to the failure to file required low-pressure inspections for three consecutive years (2019-2021) with an additional active ECB violation from August 2023 concerning missing support brackets for window A/C units on floors 2, 3, and 4. Historical data shows a pattern of heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints between 2018 and 2020.

The property has experienced recurring pest control challenges, with documented rodent activity in 2024 and previous violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. While there have been some inspections showing compliance, such as the April 2025 rodent inspection passing, the overall pattern indicates ongoing maintenance and pest control challenges. The building's age (built in 1909) combined with these violation patterns suggests significant ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding building systems and pest management.
