Augrented Insights Report for 470 Audubon Avenue

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 470 Audubon Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Dave Friedman 2 LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed about these conditions in February 2025 (most recently in May 2025). The building has also faced several unsanitary conditions related to pest issues in August 2024, though access to inspect these problems was not granted.

In February 2024, a cluster of violations was documented in apartment D8, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, various plaster and paint problems, and window jamb repairs, though some violations were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heat and hot water service failures, with similar complaints dating back to late 2024 and even earlier in 2024. Security and entrance-related violations were noted in February 2024, including concerns about an illegal electromagnetic locking device and inadequate mechanical lock security during power outages, though some of these violations have been certified as closed.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections recently, passing inspections in April 2025 and October 2024, after previously documenting rat activity in both September 2022 and September 2019. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations from 2021 through 2023, an open complaint regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone was filed in February 2025. Additionally, the Department of Buildings issued an active violation in April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.
