Augrented Insights Report for 880 St Nicholas Avenue

The building at 880 St Nicholas Avenue is a 6-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1920, containing 36 units and currently owned by Carl Zekaria. The property has experienced significant maintenance and habitability issues in recent years, with particular concerns about heating, water supply, and general living conditions. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025, including a recent emergency complaint in April that HPD could not fully investigate due to access issues. The building has also faced recurring problems with flooring, stairs, and various interior maintenance issues, including multiple violations related to paint and plaster conditions, particularly affecting Unit 44.

The property has an active rodent infestation problem, with multiple inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024-2025, and has recently experienced bug infestation issues, with one unit showing bedbug problems in the 2024 report. The building's exterior and structural maintenance have been an ongoing concern, with several violations related to the facade and building envelope. The most recent issues include an active violation regarding the failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspection documentation. Historical records show repeated problems with the building's exterior facade, including cracking and deterioration issues documented in earlier ECB violations.

Apartment 44 has been particularly problematic, showing multiple violation notices in 2024 for paint conditions, floor issues, and an infestation problem. The building's systems have experienced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues with radiators in 2025, though some complaints were found not to violate housing laws. The property has also faced challenges with maintaining fire safety features, including self-closing doors in the basement area, as documented in multiple violations. While some historical violations from 2019-2021 related to facade maintenance and other issues have been resolved, the building continues to face routine maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life.
