Augrented Insights Report for 1401 St Nicholas Avenue

The 33-unit, 6-story building at 1401 St Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Rick Herman, has been experiencing ongoing heating issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. As of March 2025, there is an open HPD complaint regarding heating problems affecting one apartment. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including documented water leaks in December 2024 and multiple rodent activity reports in 2024-2025, though recent bedbug filings from 2021-2024 show no infestations.

Notable violations were cited in Apartment 32 in July 2024, including water leak issues, mold presence, and pest infestations (mice and roaches), though these were certified as corrected by August 2024. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about inadequate service between 2018-2024, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. In 2019, there were serious safety concerns regarding illegally installed gas dryers in the cellar, resulting in multiple violations and fines, though these were subsequently resolved.

The building has also had issues with heating system access, as documented in multiple HPD responses in late 2024 and early 2025. Recent inspections show persistent rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2019 and 2022 had passed without issues. Additionally, there are three active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to display energy efficiency information from 2021.
