Augrented Insights Report for 447 Ft Washington Avenue

The 43-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 447 Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Riva Hocherman, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is an active facade safety notification from July 2021, though no violations were found during a June 2025 inspection.

The building has also shown recurring pest issues, with violations observed in December 2024 and a rat activity inspection result in July 2025. Numerous housing maintenance complaints were filed in December 2024, including issues with paint/plaster on ceilings and walls, a bathtub/shower plumbing problem, floor concerns, and cabinet issues; while most were closed without violations, some did result in penalties. The property has undergone multiple renovation attempts, with various permits issued between 2018 and 2024 for different types of work, including plumbing and exterior maintenance.

Historical records show a pattern of attention to building maintenance, with regular bedbug reporting showing zero infestations between 2019 and 2024, and mostly passing rodent inspections since 2016, though there have been some compliance issues noted. A Tenant Safety Inspection in February 2021 resulted in a stop work order that was fully rescinded, and in 2024 there was a complaint about an illegal storefront sign that was dismissed upon inspection. The building's recent history (as of 2024-2025) shows active management, with multiple service requests and inspections being addressed, though some maintenance issues appear to persist.
