Augrented Insights Report for 499 Ft Washington Avenue

The 47-unit, 6-story residential building at 499 Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by David Kershner and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past two years, with 14 heat/hot water-related complaints recorded between late 2024 and early 2025. Most of these complaints involved either the entire building or individual apartments, and while many were duplicates of existing issues, multiple reports indicate ongoing temperature control problems.

The building received notable code violations in February 2024 for various safety and maintenance concerns in apartment 4D, including faulty faucets, missing carbon monoxide detectors, a defective intercom system, problematic self-closing doors, and an unpainted steam riser, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including two ECB violations in 2019 related to exterior facade maintenance on the east elevation and roof level.

While there were previous rodent activity issues noted in 2019 and 2021, recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed improved conditions, with the most recent December 2024 inspection passing compliance. The building's bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show minimal infestations, with only one reported case in 2021-2022, and none in the subsequent three reporting periods. Administrative issues were recorded in 2021 regarding work without proper permits and elevator service, though these were investigated and found not to warrant violations.
