Augrented Insights Report for 85 Fairview Avenue

85 Fairview Avenue is a 24-unit, 4-story residential building located in Washington Heights and owned by Eleanor Patrick. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with a notable concentration of problems in late 2024 through early 2025. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a Department of Health investigation involving chemical vapors or odors. During December 2024, there were multiple housing complaints regarding heavy water flow, mold, and toilet issues, though inspections did not reveal housing law violations.

The building has documented mold problems, particularly affecting Apartment A (1st floor) and Apartment 3D (4th floor). Significant violations include emergency conditions for plumbing issues (toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers), along with various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and plumbing problems throughout 2024. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with basic systems, particularly plumbing, as evidenced by numerous HPD complaints and violations. Apartment 3D has several open violations from July 2024 related to building and safety codes, including concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom tiles, self-closing doors, and smoke detectors.

Previous years' records indicate electrical wiring concerns in 2019-2020, with one violation resulting in a $625 penalty. Historical data from 2018-2024 shows the building has maintained a pest-free status regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations. While there have been intervals of rat activity (most recently in May 2022), the building passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024. The property has demonstrated some improvement in recent months, with most recent complaints being properly closed and violations receiving attention, though several open violations from 2024 remain unresolved as of 2025.
