Augrented Insights Report for 944 Columbus Avenue

944 Columbus Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 944 Columbus Avenue LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints logged between October 2024 and January 2025, indicating persistent building-wide heating problems.

December 2024 inspections revealed multiple violations in Apartment 5, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestation, and various maintenance concerns such as defective light fixtures, ceiling plaster, floor tiles, and unsecured kitchen cabinets. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations related to rodent activity between 2018 and 2020, though recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have passed.

Recent building management actions include addressing December 2024 violations and obtaining various permits for maintenance work between 2018-2019. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections in response to complaints, with some showing no violations warranted, while others, such as a November 2024 egress obstruction case, resulted in a violation for construction materials in the public hallway, though with no penalty imposed. The building's history shows attention to pest control, with bedbug reports from 2019-2024 generally showing low infestation rates, though one documented case in 2021 was noted as eradicated.
