Augrented Insights Report for 128 Audubon Avenue

128 Audubon Avenue is a 41-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Marc Edelstein. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2019-2020 when there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, particularly in July and November 2019. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several violations in apartment 5F, including issues with window guards, missing safety detectors (CO and smoke), a problematic fire escape door lock, lead paint concerns, and roof leaks.

The building has also faced rodent challenges, with inspections showing periods of rat activity between 2020 and 2024, though the most recent compliance inspection in November 2024 passed. While the building has been generally free of bedbug infestations in recent years, with only one reported case in 2019-2020, there have been ongoing concerns about various maintenance issues, including a sanitary condition violation regarding garbage/recycling storage in July 2019. The property has undergone some improvements, evidenced by the 2024 inspections showing some violations being corrected, such as the repair of self-closing doors in public areas.

However, the building has experienced some administrative issues, such as the delayed filing of an energy benchmarking report in 2019. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection in January 2023 related to an illegal storefront sign was resolved under the 2019 Sign Moratorium. Despite these ongoing challenges, the building's voluntary bedbug reporting has shown consistent zero counts for the past three years, suggesting effective pest management practices. The most recent rodent inspection results, with a passing grade in November 2024, indicate some improvement in pest control, though the building has historically struggled with these issues as evidenced by the initial inspection failures in recent years.
