Augrented Insights Report for 59 Audubon Avenue

The five-story, nine-unit building at 59 Audubon Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Jonathan Squires, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding basic services and pest problems. Most notably, there are open violations as of October 2024 concerning an intercom system affecting elderly tenants, broken glass in entrance doors, and ongoing rodent infestations (including mice and cockroaches) in apartment 4N.

The building has also faced recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in late 2023, and gas supply issues affecting multiple units in 2024. The property has a concerning history of safety and maintenance violations, including recent active ECB violations related to gas line connections and improper use of propane tanks in 2022, and previously documented egress issues in 2019. Preliminary inspections in 2024-2025 have revealed persistent rat activity, leading to multiple bait applications by pest control services.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple violations remaining open beyond their initial reporting dates. Additionally, there are several "immediately hazardous" violations related to the building's gas systems and intercom maintenance that remain unresolved as of June 2023. The property has also faced challenges with compliance requirements, including outstanding bedbug report filings from both 2023 and 2024.
