Augrented Insights Report for 934 Columbus Avenue

934 Columbus Avenue is a five-story, 12-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, currently owned by Phillip Jacobson and built in 1936. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heating and hot water emergency that occurred in January 2023 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days. There have been multiple reports and inspections related to maintenance and pest control, including recurring rat activity observed in 2022-2023, though recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed improvement with a "Passed" result.

The building has two open violations from June 2022 in apartment 2N regarding defective self-closing doors and incorrect paint maintenance on the east-1 riser, though many past violations have been resolved, including those related to bedbug reporting compliance. The property has a concerning history of maintenance issues, including multiple work-related violations from 2020 regarding unpermitted work in the rear courtyard and obstructed fire escape access, which resulted in significant penalties. While there have been various housing maintenance code complaints between 2022-2024 regarding flooring, appliances, and pest control, most have been closed without violations being issued.

Recent filings for bedbug reporting in 2023-2025 show zero infested units, indicating successful pest management practices. It's worth noting that the building has experienced both heat/hot water outages and various maintenance issues over the past few years, though recent rodent inspections suggest some improvement in pest control. The most recent violation as of September 2024 pertains to failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation.
