Augrented Insights Report for 248 Wadsworth Avenue

The five-story New Law Tenement at 248 Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Daniel Wechsler and constructed in 1914, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of 2025. Recent HPD inspections have focused on recurring problems with doors and windows, particularly doors, with multiple open and closed complaints throughout 2024 and 2025, including an emergency-level door complaint from February 2025 that remains unresolved. The building also faced significant heating and hot water issues in early 2025, though some complaints about heating systems were later closed following HPD inspections.

The property has been subject to ongoing structural concerns, particularly regarding the facade and building envelope. Multiple Department of Buildings violations from 2021 to present indicate structural issues, including problems with mortar joints, brickwork, and metal lintels on various building exposures. Recent rodent activity has also been documented, with baiting efforts recorded throughout 2024 and most recently in March 2025, though an inspection in December 2024 noted rat activity. The building's compliance record shows both open and closed violations related to lead paint hazards and interior maintenance issues, with the most significant concentration of violations appearing to be in apartment 2C, including problems with plaster surfaces, ceiling maintenance, and window guard compliance as of 2024-2025.

The building's electrical systems were the subject of violations in 2018, specifically regarding the installation of arc-fault circuit interrupters and unauthorized electrical work. Recent regulatory activity indicates ongoing monitoring and attempted enforcement of building codes, with multiple inspection attempts and issuance of violations requiring the owner to address various maintenance issues. Notably, there have been issues with the sidewalk shed and scaffold safety, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2024 and 2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's bedbug reports have been consistently showing zero infested units since 2019, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
