Augrented Insights Report for 440 St Nicholas Avenue

440 St Nicholas Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1901 and currently owned by Lee Baum. The building has experienced significant heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent inspections in late 2024 revealed violations in apartment 2A related to water leaks, ceiling conditions, and door issues.

There are also ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity through 2024 and 2025, though a rodent inspection in May 2025 passed. The building's maintenance history shows periods of pest control efforts, with three infested units reported in 2023-2024, though these were marked as eradicated. In addition to the heating problems, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical and plumbing issues.

Violations in apartment 1D noted electrical switch problems, door issues, and pest control concerns between 2024 and 2025. The property owner has multiple open violations as of 2024-2025, including a Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. Recent inspections have shown some improvement, with a passed rat inspection in May 2025 and the resolution of certain violations, though new issues continue to emerge. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal recent activity, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period.
