Augrented Insights Report for 946 Columbus Avenue

The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 946 Columbus Avenue, built in 1910 and owned by Jason Rohlman, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is a recurring pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints about mold (2023-2024) and pests (2023) that, while investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulted in no violations being issued. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including water supply problems (February 2024) and a significant water leak affecting Apartment 1D (July 2023), with corresponding violations requiring repair.

Recent maintenance issues include plumbing problems, wall damage, and appliance concerns, particularly in Apartment 4B, which has documented violations from 2023-2024 related to plaster and painting requirements. The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance interventions, including a rodent inspection in August 2024 which passed, and the building's bedbug reports consistently show zero infestations from 2018 through 2024. In 2024, there was an asbestos complaint that was investigated with no violations found, and a complaint regarding a flower pot obstructing a fire escape that was addressed.

The building's administrative record shows regular rodent inspections passing since 2015, indicating ongoing pest management efforts. Construction-related issues arose in 2023-2025, including a penalty for unauthorized signage installation in 2024 ($1,280 fine), though a subsequent construction complaint in 2025 found no violations. The property has received various permits over the years for maintenance and repair work, including plumbing and electrical repairs in 2018.
