Augrented Insights Report for 1272 Amsterdam Avenue

The five-story tenement building at 1272 Amsterdam Avenue in Morningside Heights, owned by Margaret Brunn, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges and access issues since 2024. Most recently, in May 2025, there were two separate pest-related complaints within the same month that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building has a troubling pattern of unsanitary conditions, with similar pest-related complaints in April and February 2025, as well as mold and water leak issues earlier that year.

There were also multiple heating system access problems in February 2024, with complaints regarding inadequate heat in apartments 1C and 4D being documented. The building underwent several Department of Buildings inspections in 2020 and 2021 for work without permits, though most complaints were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." During the same period, three electrical safety violations were issued, including issues with exposed energized electrical parts and a rusted service endline box, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $4,450. Recent rodent activity has been a persistent concern, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" in August 2024 and most recently in June 2023, though a passed inspection in June 2025 suggests some improvement.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations. Throughout 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple instances where HPD inspectors could not complete their inspections due to access issues, most significantly regarding pest control, heat/hot water problems, and various unsanitary conditions. The building's age (1926) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its history of maintenance challenges. While some recent violations have been resolved, the frequency of access issues preventing proper inspection and resolution of complaints remains a significant pattern.
