Augrented Insights Report for 981 Amsterdam Avenue

The 14-unit, 5-story building at 981 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Eugenio Fernandez and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant issues over recent years that warrant attention. The property has active violations for failing to file external low pressure inspections for 2019, 2020, and 2021, as noted in June 2023. Recent maintenance concerns include an April 2024 violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, and various repair requirements throughout 2023-2024 affecting the bathroom in apartment 4N and the laundry room door in the basement.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reports from 2022-2024, it had a notable rodent issue in July 2022 (though subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed). The building underwent significant construction activity in 2020-2021, during which multiple construction safety compliance violations were documented, though these have since been resolved. A pattern of self-closing door maintenance violations has emerged, particularly concerning the laundry room and boiler room doors, with inspection dates in 2022-2023 showing recurring issues. The property experienced various housing maintenance code violations requiring attention to flooring, stairs, and emergency systems, including a 2022 violation for a missing sprinkler head cover in apartment 3S.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with a concerning history of rat activity documented between 2017 and 2019, though recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have shown improvements, with only one failed inspection in 2022. The Department of Buildings' records show a series of inspection and compliance actions between 2020 and 2021 related to construction safety, including stop work orders and citations for inadequate housekeeping and safety documentation. These violations resulted in penalties totaling over $21,000, though all have been resolved according to the records. The building's maintenance history reflects ongoing efforts to address various safety and maintenance requirements, with many violations being promptly corrected upon inspection, though some issues remain active as of 2025.
