Augrented Insights Report for 947 Columbus Avenue

947 Columbus Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 in Manhattan's Upper West Side, currently owned by Rikin Sheth. The building has experienced recurring issues with its bell/buzzer/intercom system, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 leading to violations in June 2024 regarding a defective intercom system in the foyer near apartment 4A.

There have also been several heat and hot water complaints between 2023 and 2024, some classified as emergencies, though most were resolved after HPD inspections. The property currently has open violations from September 2024 related to the installation of a certificate of inspection display near mailboxes and a loose marble tread on the first-story stairs. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections from 2015 through 2024.

Recent bedbug reporting shows no infestations recorded in the past three years (2022-2025), and the building maintained good general maintenance practices with various non-emergency repairs addressed, including plumbing and flooring issues in 2022. While the property has experienced several maintenance challenges over the past few years, particularly with the intercom system and heating issues, most complaints have been addressed through appropriate channels. The most recent Department of Buildings violation regarding external low-pressure inspection filing remains unresolved as of September 2024.
