Augrented Insights Report for 427 Ft Washington Avenue

As of July 2025, 427 Fort Washington Avenue is a 6-story, 53-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Michael Edelstein. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent significant event being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2025, which was resolved upon inspection.

Between April and May 2025, multiple complaints were investigated by HPD, including issues with mold, water leaks, flooring, and wall conditions, though inspectors found no violations of housing laws. The building has ongoing safety concerns, with open violations as of November 2024 related to defective self-closing fire doors on multiple floors (1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th stories), representing potential fire safety risks.

The property has a history of various infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including multiple elevator-related issues between 2019-2023, construction-related violations in 2020 involving suspended scaffolding and safety compliance, and plumbing concerns. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years (2020-2024), there have been persistent rodent activity concerns, with the most recent inspections showing rat activity in October 2024 and multiple bait applications throughout 2024. The building has also undergone several permitted modifications over the past few years, with plumbing work being the primary focus of recent permits in 2023 and 2024.
