Augrented Insights Report for 1520 St Nicholas Avenue

The 24-unit, 5-story building at 1520 St Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Anh Do, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues between 2023 and 2025, with particular concerns about heat, pest infestations, and building systems. Most recently, in spring 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water throughout the building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also experienced persistent issues with its intercom system, with two open complaints from April 2025. A pattern of heating system problems is noted, with complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though some of these were found not to violate housing laws during inspections.

The building has faced significant pest challenges, particularly evident in multiple inspections and violations related to roach infestations in apartments 21, 53, and others, with both Class A and C violations noted. These infestations prompted several inspections and citations throughout 2024. Plumbing issues have also been documented, including problems with basins and sinks, though most were resolved promptly. A series of rodent inspections in 2023-2024 indicated ongoing rat activity, with multiple bait applications recorded.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations between 2019 and 2024. Compliance inspections in 2024 noted some violations related to unsanitary conditions and various building maintenance issues, including mold, bathroom repairs, and kitchen concerns. While there was a complaint about unauthorized work in 2023, inspectors were unable to gain access, and a 2022 complaint about failure to maintain was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding heating, plumbing, and pest control, while demonstrating compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and showing some improvements in pest management as noted by the most recent rodent inspection result.
