Augrented Insights Report for 2049 5th Avenue

The 28-unit, 7-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 2049 5th Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Robert Abrams and constructed in 1921, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heating and hot water problems, with multiple tenant complaints in March 2025 alone, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building has also faced substantial water supply and plumbing issues, with numerous related complaints in early 2025, some classified as emergencies.

Apartment 5B has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from an April 2024 inspection, including issues with smoke detectors, bedbug infestation, doors, windows, and various repairs needed throughout the unit. Additionally, both apartments 5B and 6D were cited for bedbug infestations in 2024. The property has several active Department of Buildings violations related to building management compliance, including failure to file required benchmarking reports and technical inspections in 2023-2024.

An active elevator complaint from March 2025 regarding single-device service was noted, following a previous similar complaint from October 2024 that was dismissed. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections, with most recent results indicating compliance, the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's energy compliance history shows multiple failures to file necessary benchmarking reports between 2023-2024, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues.
