Augrented Insights Report for 492 Manhattan Avenue

492 Manhattan Avenue is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Jay Newhouse, located in Harlem. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably related to heating systems. In late 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were reportedly resolved upon follow-up inspection.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent three inspections in 2024-2025 showing "Passed" results, suggesting improved pest management. However, between June-October 2023, there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded, with the building receiving violations in April 2024 related to mold, water leaks, and maintenance issues in the 5th story public hall, including problems with the ceiling requiring repair and re-painting. The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug concerns, with all recent filings (2022-2024) reporting zero infested units.

A noteworthy inspection in 2018 regarding illegal hotel rooms yielded no violations. Recent service requests in 2024-2025 primarily focused on door issues, with HPD inspections finding no housing law violations. The building's violation history shows various maintenance and safety compliance issues over the past few years, including past complaints about a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1 and various other repair needs that have generally been addressed following inspection.
