Augrented Insights Report for 535 Edgecombe Avenue

The 5-story, 20-unit building at 535 Edgecombe Avenue, owned by Tony Guillen, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around recurring problems with heating and appliances. In 2025, there were complaints about insufficient heat/hot water that HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues, along with service requests for unsanitary conditions, water leaks, and mold in January 2025, though these were determined not to violate housing laws. A series of complaints from late 2024 to early 2025 involved various maintenance issues, including problems with appliances (refrigerator and electric range), plumbing, doors/windows, and electrical systems, with multiple instances where inspectors could not gain access to investigate fully.

The building has also been cited for pest issues, with open violations in 2024 for apartment 23 showing evidence of roaches, and in 2024 for apartment 31 showing evidence of mice. The property has maintained a troubling pattern of maintenance deficiencies, as evidenced by open housing maintenance code violations filed in 2025 regarding a non-functioning refrigerator and electric range, and an emergency window frame issue. Historical data shows ongoing structural concerns, particularly with the building's exterior, having received ECB violations in 2020 related to cracked stone cornices creating hazardous conditions.

While the building had notable problems with lead paint and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 31 in 2024, these appear to have been addressed by April 2024. The property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2022. The building's age (built in 1925) combined with these persistent maintenance challenges suggests ongoing difficulties with basic building systems and infrastructure. However, it's worth noting that the property has maintained a bedbug-free status for several years, with no reported infestations since 2018.
