Augrented Insights Report for 631 Edgecombe Avenue

The 60-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 631 Edgecombe Avenue, owned by Mark Scharfman and built in 1911, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns emerging in 2025. Multiple complaints were filed in April 2025 regarding appliances (refrigerator and range), unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), and wall issues, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections. The building has a history of pest issues, with violations documented for both Apartment 5G (mice infestation) and Apartment 4J (roach infestation) in late 2024, along with multiple unsanitary condition complaints.

Notably, there is currently an open complaint regarding mold from April 2025. The building underwent several inspections and received multiple violations between 2024 and 2025, including plumbing issues (radiator and steam pipe concerns) and various apartment maintenance problems such as cabinet, floor tile, and electrical light fixture repairs needed in Apartment 4J. The property has experienced recurring elevator service issues, with complaints filed in 2023 and 2024, though inspections found no violations.

While recent rodent inspections passed in 2023 and 2024, there was documented rat activity in early 2019. The building's maintenance record also shows attention to safety systems, with violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing doors in Apartment 5G being addressed in late 2024. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the last three years of annual reporting.
