Augrented Insights Report for 81 Wadsworth Avenue

The 6-story, 48-unit residential building at 81 Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Brian Garland, has exhibited persistent maintenance and infrastructure issues throughout 2025. Most recently, there is an open emergency water leak complaint from June 2025 and an open door/window issue from January 2025. The property has experienced multiple heat and hot water service interruptions, with several complaints filed between January and April 2025, including one that affected the entire building.

There have been recurring sanitation issues documented, including a Health Department inspection in March 2025 regarding pigeon waste, and garbage/recycling storage problems in April 2025 that, while not violating HPD housing laws, indicate maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1920, has faced numerous maintenance violations, particularly regarding an ongoing cockroach infestation in Apartment 54 (from October 2024) and other pest control issues in Apartments 32 and 24. The property has an active facade-related violation from 2023 regarding failure to file required reports, and multiple elevator service complaints between 2022-2023, though recent inspections determined no violations warranted.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2022-2023 about service interruptions. Additionally, the facade inspection has generated active ECB violations regarding required reports, with penalties totaling $7,500. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, the building has experienced fluctuating results in rodent inspections, failing inspection in March 2025, though previously achieving passing results in 2023 and 2024. The property appears to be actively managing various maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019-2020 for various repairs and improvements, though many violations remain open or are in the process of being resolved through inspections and required corrections.
