Augrented Insights Report for 1459 Amsterdam Avenue

The 5-story, 9-unit tenement building at 1459 Amsterdam Avenue in Harlem, owned by Genevieve Outlaw and constructed in 1901, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most recent inspections in 2024 revealed continuing concerns about building maintenance, with active violations noted for excessive peeling facade above the 5th floor and issues related to self-closing doors.

In 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 4B, including unsafe electrical wiring, lead-based paint hazards, and various maintenance issues such as leaking faucets and paint damage. The building has a documented history of electrical problems, including a power outage in 2021 and heat/hot water issues in early 2019, though these complaints were eventually resolved without official violations.

More recent rodent control inspections in early 2025 indicate ongoing pest management efforts, with several instances of rat activity noted in compliance inspections. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record for the past five reporting periods, from 2019 through 2024. The property has also faced issues related to construction work, with multiple violations in late 2021 concerning sidewalk shed requirements and temporary construction equipment, though these were resolved through proper citation processes.
