Augrented Insights Report for 555 Edgecombe Avenue

At 555 Edgecombe Avenue in Washington Heights, this 127-unit, 14-story "New Law Tenement" built in 1916 is currently experiencing multiple unresolved maintenance issues as of July 2025. The building has eight open complaints as of June 2025, including problems with a refrigerator, door, garbage storage, window frame, flooring, and wall conditions. Notably, apartment 4B has documented lead paint hazards in multiple locations including a door frame, ceiling, and baseboard, along with previously resolved issues of unmounted carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, lack of hot water fixtures, and pest infestations.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about service and device issues throughout 2024-2025, and an active ECB violation from December 2024 regarding a leaking boiler that carries a penalty of $1,250. The building has undergone several inspections and repairs over the past few years, with most recent work being permitted in 2023-2024, including elevator modernization and electrical work. There have been consistent rodent control measures in place, with inspections showing some recurring issues in 2024, though recent reports indicate improvements.

The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years. Historical records from 2018 through 2022 show various facade maintenance and scaffolding issues, particularly during renovation work, leading to multiple violations and fines, though most have been resolved. The building's management has faced scrutiny for not properly addressing immediate violations in a timely manner, as indicated by more recent DOB violations regarding failure to certify corrections.
