Augrented Insights Report for 245 Ft Washington Avenue

245 Ft Washington Avenue is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Michael Gaffney. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems in 2025 involving heat/hot water outages and a significant water leak reported in February 2025 that remains unresolved as of July 2025. During early 2025, multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems were filed, with some being duplicates of building-wide issues.

The building has also faced several building-wide challenges, including an open door/window issue from November 2024 and pest-related concerns with an infestation documented in Apartment 5F in October 2023. The Department of Buildings has recorded various violations and compliance issues, including concerns about fire door conditions in June 2023, lead paint hazards in Apartment 1H, and multiple emergency repair needs. A significant matter involving facade inspections and reporting compliance is active as of January 2024, with records indicating a violation for failure to file acceptable reports regarding unsafe conditions.

Historical data shows some improvements with rodent control, though inspections have shown failed results in early 2024 and 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to present shows minimal infestations, with only one reported case in 2019 and no subsequent occurrences since then. Recent permits issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance and repair work being conducted on the property.
