Augrented Insights Report for 171 Audubon Avenue

171 Audubon Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Susan Edelstein. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with three complaints in 2025 alone, two of which were investigated by HPD. There are several open violations from 2024-2025 related to building maintenance, including door issues (opened in February 2025) and multiple infrastructure problems from August 2024, such as paint/plaster damage to ceilings, walls, and various utilities.

The building has faced multiple challenges with compliance and maintenance, evidenced by open housing maintenance code violations from 2023-2024 concerning fire retardant materials and paint requirements in the public hallways. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in 2019-2021, when there were multiple complaints about unauthorized work, including electrical and plumbing modifications. Though these complaints were closed, inspections often faced access issues.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, and while there were bedbug incidents reported in 2019, subsequent years (2020-2022) show no infestations. The building's maintenance record indicates some improvements, with recent permits issued in 2019-2020 for plumbing and electrical work, though these followed multiple violations for unpermitted work. Three heating system complaints were recorded in 2025, with varying resolution outcomes, and there are current open violations requiring attention as of July 2025.
