Augrented Insights Report for 288 Audubon Avenue

The five-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement building at 288 Audubon Avenue in Washington Heights, managed by West 180 St Management LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were complaints about smoking in smoke-free areas, and prior to that, reports of water leaks and mold issues in January 2025, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has faced recurring problems with door security and functionality, with multiple complaints about door issues in 2024-2025 and 2023-2024, some of which required emergency attention.

Historical maintenance records reveal a pattern of building system concerns, including a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2022, safety issues with window guards in 2022, and various plumbing problems. The property has shown some improvement in recent years, with no recorded bedbug infestations since 2024 and passing rodent inspections in 2024 and December 2023. The building's violation history reveals several significant safety and maintenance concerns, including a currently active Department of Buildings violation from May 2024 regarding failure to file a benchmarking report of energy use.

Previous violations have included issues with building security, electrical wiring, and fire escape maintenance. The property management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with many being closed after inspections found no violations or the issues being resolved. Notably, there were two years (2021-2022) with concerning levels of bedbug infestations, but recent filings (2023-2024) show no new cases. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with management typically addressing problems when reported, though some complaints in 2022 were marked as "unable to inspect" due to access issues.
