Augrented Insights Report for 56 Bennett Avenue

56 Bennett Avenue is a 6-story, 78-unit residential building located in Washington Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Robert Cohen. The most significant ongoing issue affecting resident comfort has been the recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025 documenting both building-wide and apartment-specific outages, several of which were classified as emergencies.

The building has also experienced several concerning maintenance issues, including a pest infestation (with violations cited in January 2025), window frame problems, and various maintenance matters in early 2025. The property underwent a comprehensive inspection in June 2024 that revealed multiple violations in apartment 3B, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, mold, pest infestation, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently closed.

Historical data shows recurring elevator problems between 2020 and 2022, with active violations regarding firefighters' service as of September 2022. The building's bedbug treatment history shows two infested units reported in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, with successful eradication in both cases. It's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2014 and 2024, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
