Augrented Insights Report for 97 Ft Washington Avenue

The 40-unit, 6-story apartment building at 97 Ft Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Marc Edelstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with incidents reported in 2024 and 2021, though both were resolved relatively quickly. The building has also faced significant challenges with garbage and recycling storage, receiving HPD complaints in 2024, 2020, and multiple rodent-related issues between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent pest control inspection in February 2025 showing compliance.

Recent building problems have centered around safety concerns, particularly regarding fire escape obstructions, with an active violation identified in October 2024 regarding protruding air conditioner units. There have been ongoing elevator service issues, with complaints in 2023 and 2024, though inspections generally found no violations. The building's sidewalk shed has also been a persistent concern, with multiple violations in 2024 and 2023 relating to improper installation and missing information panels, resulting in significant penalties currently totaling $6,250.

While there have been various maintenance code violations in individual apartments (most notably in Apartment 3C in 2019), many historical issues appear to have been resolved, including multiple inspections confirming no bedbug infestations since 2019. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 typically passing compliance checks, though certain violations remain open. These include active Environmental Control Board violations regarding sidewalk shed maintenance from October 2024.
