Augrented Insights Report for 965 Columbus Avenue

The 10-story, 18-unit building at 965 Columbus Avenue, owned by Dequan Watson, was completed in 1996 and currently faces several maintenance challenges. The most concerning recent issues include multiple plumbing problems (including toilet issues), mold concerns, and door-related problems that generated both emergency complaints and violations in June 2025. There are also pending open complaints from April 2025 regarding doors and mold that remain unresolved.

The building's elevator system has experienced recurring problems, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding a single-device operation and no alternate service, resulting in violations and Oath violations served between 2019-2024. The property is currently facing two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 related to facade maintenance issues - one for defective metal coping and another for failing to file acceptable amended facade reports, with penalties totaling $10,000. The building has shown some attention to inspections and corrections, as evidenced by the closure of several violation notices in 2024-2025, including issues with apartment 5B that required repairs to walls, ceilings, bathroom tiles, and various fixtures.

The building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations since 2021 and has generally passed rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2023. Recent HPD inspections in June 2025 found some complaints did not warrant housing law violations, while others resulted in violations for properties requiring repairs. The building's facade work has been a recurring theme, with multiple violations related to safety inspection reports and noncompliance issues that date back to 2018, suggesting ongoing challenges with building envelope maintenance.
