Augrented Insights Report for 953 West End Avenue

953 West End Avenue is a 7-story, 26-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Thomas Cullen. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in July 2024 showing both rat activity and bait application. A significant cluster of rodent-related incidents occurred between 2020-2024, despite some inspections showing no violations.

The building has faced several maintenance challenges, including a water leak in early 2020 that was classified as an emergency but could not be inspected, and multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance. Recent violations and concerns include three active Cycle 9 violations from early 2024-2025 related to swamping conditions, an unsafe report, and failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report. Previous violations have included issues with the building's boiler system in April 2021 (missing backflow preventer), elevator maintenance in 2018, and a 2023 violation regarding a door closure device in the public hall.

The property has maintained an effective bedbug control program, with no reported infestations in the past four years (2021-2024). While there have been multiple complaints about unsanitary garbage/recycling conditions, inspections generally found no violations. The building's management has addressed some concerns, as evidenced by closed violations and compliance inspections, though some issues remain active as of 2025.
