Augrented Insights Report for 61 Ellwood Street

The 72-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 61 Ellwood Street in Inwood, built in 1923 and currently owned by Alex Kohen, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years. As of mid-2025, the most pressing concerns include multiple open complaints from December 2024 regarding water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), mold issues, and interior wall conditions that have not yet been resolved. The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with significant outages reported in both December 2024 (affecting the entire building) and January 2025 (affecting individual apartments).

The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges dating back several years, including multiple HPD complaints and violations in 2024-2025 related to appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range issues), unsanitary conditions, and water leakage. Inspection records from 2024 indicate a pattern of mold and water-related issues, particularly in apartment 5J, which was cited for various violations including defective carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestation, and water leakage problems. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with some passing results in 2025 and previous rat activity noted in 2024-2023.

While there have been several complaints about illegal conversions and commercial use, most were closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. Recent health and safety evaluations, including a 2025 DOHMH inspection for unsanitary conditions, noted only minor violations. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though access issues have sometimes prevented inspections or resolution of certain problems.
