Augrented Insights Report for 248 Audubon Avenue

The 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building at 248 Audubon Avenue, owned by Boysie Siew and constructed in 1920, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water supply issues throughout the building during early 2025, with multiple complaints (including one emergency complaint) between January and April. In recent months, there are two open emergency complaints from May 2025 regarding window frame and ceiling plaster issues, both of which were closed due to HPD's inability to access units for inspection.

The building has also faced elevator maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations from 2018 through 2023 about its service and safety systems, with the most recent elevator-related complaint recorded in March 2023 resulting in an Oath violation. The property has a notable history of various housing maintenance code violations, including issues with self-closing doors, lead paint hazards, and mold conditions. A September 2024 inspection revealed violations regarding self-closing doors at various points in the building, and a violation regarding roof access door handles was issued in 2024 and remains open.

The building has maintained an active record of compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, passing inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though there were some non-compliance findings in 2021 and 2019. Importantly, the building has consistently maintained a bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in the past seven years of inspections. While the building has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency reporting and display requirements from 2019-2022, these appear to be administrative in nature.
