Augrented Insights Report for 680 St Nicholas Avenue

680 St Nicholas Avenue is a 7-story, 111-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 in Harlem, currently owned by Fred Lambert. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with 2025 showing particular concern for pests and mold, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in May 2025, for which violations were issued. There is also an ongoing food poisoning investigation by DOHMH from April 2025.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water system failures, with several emergency complaints in 2025 alone, and multiple violations regarding heat and hot water during inspections. Recent inspections and violations show problems with building safety systems, including non-functioning self-closing doors and security issues, particularly notable in violations from 2023/2024 relating to fire safety equipment and building access. The property has a documented history of rodent activity and pest issues, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing mixed results, including two instances of "Rat Activity" in 2024.

Building safety compliance has been a recurring concern, with multiple inspections showing violations related to door security and fire safety systems. The elevator and building maintenance systems have required attention, as demonstrated by various complaints and violations in recent years. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug infestations, particularly evident in the 2024 reports showing five infested units, though these were reportedly eradicated. The property has undergone several inspections for compliance with major building codes, including a FISP Cycle 8C report requirement, though some violations remain active as of 2023-2025.
