Augrented Insights Report for 2254 5th Avenue

The six-story, 16-unit building at 2254 5th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Shaul Koplowitz and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and water systems. Most notably, in early 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with several such reports resulting from inspection access issues. Open complaints as of February 2025 include concerns about unsanitary conditions (specifically mold) and plumbing issues related to the bathtub/shower facilities.

The building has a documented history of pest-related problems, with multiple pest complaints between 2024-2025. Earlier violation history shows significant concerns regarding building maintenance and safety systems. In 2024, violations were documented for rodent and pest infestations, while June 2024 inspections identified issues including defective fire door self-closing mechanisms and accumulation of refuse in public areas.

The building faced multiple violations between 2018-2020 related to building code compliance, including requirements for plumbing system testing, electrical work permits, and various structural maintenance issues. While some of these violations were ultimately dismissed, the pattern suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate some improvement, passing a compliance inspection in March 2025 after previous initial inspections in 2024 noted rat activity. The property has maintained consistent pest control efforts, as evidenced by zero bedbug incidents reported in recent years between 2018-2024.
