Augrented Insights Report for 256 Wadsworth Avenue

256 Wadsworth Avenue is a 5-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Josh Wiesenfeld. The property has experienced significant and ongoing heat and hot water system issues throughout the summer of 2025, with multiple tenant complaints and emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed in June 2025.

The building has a history of boiler-related problems, with eight defective/inoperative/no permit complaints recorded between 2019 and 2023, though inspections often found no violations warranted at the time. Recent housing maintenance violations from 2024 show concerns regarding apartment 5C, including issues with heating, peeling paint, broken tiles, missing window guards, inoperable carbon monoxide detector, mold, and leaky faucets, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has maintained a generally good record for bedbug and rodent control, with no recorded infestations since 2020 and passing rodent inspections in 2024, 2022, 2019, and 2018.

However, there are three active DOB violations (as of mid-2023) related to the failure to file annual boiler inspections from 2018, 2022, and 2023. The building's emergency heating system failures have led to financial penalties, including a 2022 violation for no heat with a $1,562 penalty. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the recent cluster of heating problems in 2025 appears to be the most significant ongoing concern.
