Augrented Insights Report for 2785 8th Avenue

This 23-unit, 7-story residential building in Harlem, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Malcolm Punter, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most significant problems occurring in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2024-2025, including a January 2025 emergency complaint that required HPD intervention, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's heating system. The building has also faced ventilation and mold issues, with violations issued in October 2024 for mold in apartment 4A, and multiple complaints about flooring problems.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with ten complaints recorded between 2019-2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." Most recently, an active complaint from April 2025 indicates ongoing elevator service issues. There are also significant outstanding violations related to the building's infrastructure, including active ECB violations from 2021 regarding the backflow preventer and circulation pump, as well as multiple active DOB violations from 2022-2024 related to energy efficiency reporting and exterior maintenance requirements. Recent inspections indicate successful rodent control (passed inspections in 2024-2025), and bedbug reports show no infestations in the most recent reporting periods.

The building has undergone various maintenance checks and received multiple violations for different systems, including plumbing, ventilation, and electrical issues. Of particular note, eleven active DOB violations related to energy efficiency reporting and maintenance have been documented between 2022-2024, indicating potential compliance issues with local regulations. Despite these challenges, recent inspections have shown improvements in pest control and verification of no bedbug or rodent infestations in recent filings, though maintained violations for various systems and infrastructure remain.
