Augrented Insights Report for 938 St Nicholas Avenue

The 52-unit, 6-story tenement at 938 St Nicholas Avenue, built in 1909 and currently owned by Marie Dellathomas, has been facing several significant maintenance challenges in recent months. As of April 2025, multiple open complaints have been filed with HPD regarding safety equipment, including unresolved issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, along with reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests.

There are also urgent concerns about water leaks with heavy flow reported in March and April 2025, and recent violations involving ceiling paint/plaster issues. The building's elevator system is currently under scrutiny, with multiple active complaints from April and May 2025 regarding a single device on the property with no alternate service. Additionally, serious facade maintenance issues have been documented, including violations for cracked and spalling masonry on multiple building exposures, with associated penalties totaling $22,000 from 2024-2025.

Recent inspections have shown varying results regarding rodent activity, with rat activity reported in January 2024 and December 2023, though an October 2024 inspection passed. The building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2022-2024 showing zero infested units. The property has also faced challenges with building safety systems, including multiple violations related to safety signage and maintenance requirements, though some older violations related to facade maintenance from 2020-2023 remain active, including failure to submit required inspection reports and to address previously hazardous conditions.
