Augrented Insights Report for 1516 Amsterdam Avenue

1516 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Nasir Sasouness. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water leaks, evidenced by three documented incidents in the past two years (2024-2025).

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in August 2024, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and pest infestations in multiple apartments (3B, 5B, and 6D), as well as concerns about fire escape maintenance. The building has undergone several health inspections in recent years, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigating multiple food poisoning complaints in 2024-2025, though these were determined to be isolated incidents. The building's recent history shows persistent pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple compliance and baiting inspections throughout 2024-2025.

There are multiple active violations related to illegal apartment conversions and work without permits, with penalties totaling $19,750 currently due. While the property has maintained good bedbug management practices, with no reported infestations since 2022, the ongoing maintenance issues and active violations raise concerns about overall building management. The property has a history of moisture-related problems, with various water leakage complaints documented between 2024 and 2025, though inspection attempts have sometimes been hampered by lack of access to units.
