Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The 25-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 411 Audubon Avenue, built in 1915 and owned by Harry Hirsch, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months that warrant attention. Most notably, a cluster of complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding unsafe conditions, including problems with flooring/stairs, ceilings, and pest infestations, all of which resulted in HPD violations being issued. These followed similar issues documented in March 2025, including water leaks and flooring problems. The building has an ongoing maintenance pattern, with historical issues including a documented pest infestation in apartment 4E identified in December 2024, where multiple violations were issued related to lead paint hazards, plaster damage, and an infestation of mice and roaches, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by April 2025. The property has maintained consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 being satisfactory.

The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, with multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions and structural deficiencies. Previous years show a similar trajectory, with documented pest control issues in 2019-2020 and lead paint concerns in 2024. However, the property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024. While emergency repairs have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by the quick closure of recent complaints, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical data from 2020 indicates a separate concern involving electrical wiring, though this was referred to the Department of Transportation and closed.
