Augrented Insights Report for 500 Audubon Avenue

500 Audubon Avenue is a 5-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Jonathan Ramirez. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded in February 2025 affecting both entire building and individual apartments. Most of these complaints were resolved promptly, though one related to the entire building from February 24, 2025 remains open as of April 2025.

A significant concern is the currently open mold complaint filed in April 2025, which HPD has documented as requiring attention. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a rodent infestation in Apartment 1W (December 2024), door latch issues in Apartments 2C and 3E, and water-related problems in multiple units including bathrooms in Apartments 2C and W2. Violations regarding visible mold conditions have been documented in both the bathroom of Apartment 2C and Basement Apartment W2. Despite these issues, the building has passed several rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance.

The property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations, with all annual reports showing zero infested units since 2019. Historical records show a mix of resolved and open violations, with the most recent housing maintenance code violations primarily relating to mold, water leaks, and door repairs. Two complaints from 2018 regarding Certificate of Occupancy and safety net/guard rail concerns were investigated and found to warrant no violation. While the building has maintained regular inspections and promptly addressed many issues, the persistence of heating/hot water problems and recent mold complaint suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
