Augrented Insights Report for 518 Ft Washington Avenue

518 Fort Washington Avenue is a 5-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Russley Company, Inc. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding plumbing (including toilets, bathtubs/showers, and radiators), water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, and door problems. Notably, there are several instances where HPD inspections could not be completed, though most recent complaints did not result in violations.

The building has significant outstanding compliance matters, including active violations from 2023-2024 related to unsafe conditions, water leakage, and emergency repairs regarding water flow, mold, and various plumbing issues. The property underwent facade work and related inspections in 2023, with some compliance matters being addressed through fines. Previous violations from 2021-2022 revealed concerns about illegal transient occupancy in Apartment 5G, leading to multiple ECB fines for failure to maintain proper safety systems, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

The building's safety features have been under scrutiny, with violations recorded for defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1F (2023) and lead paint hazards noted in 5G (2022). However, it is worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015-2024 and has shown a pattern of prompt resolution of many violations, though some recent issues remain active. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years.
