Augrented Insights Report for 51 Bennett Avenue

As of July 2025, 51 Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights (49 units, 6 stories, built in 1924) has experienced recurring maintenance issues that significantly impact resident quality of life. Most recently, between May and June 2025, there were multiple HPD complaints including unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing issues (toilet and sink), and flooring concerns, with some complaints resulting in violations requiring owner remediation. The building has documented ongoing pest problems, with rat activity recorded in inspections throughout 2024-2025, and previous mold and plumbing issues were also identified in late 2024.

The property has a troubled elevator history, with multiple complaints about lack of service and safety issues, including two ECB violations related to elevator safety features (currently active with penalties totaling $7,500). Building stability concerns were raised in 2022-2023, though inspections could not confirm violations in some cases. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with basic services and infrastructure, including a 2025 heat/hot water complaint, various plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions.

Specific violations were documented in Apartment B1 during late 2024 inspections, including lead paint hazards, mold, and various repair needs. While the property had no bedbug infestations reported between 2022-2024, this pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly with elevator service and rodent activity, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent violation activity indicates some improvements have been made, as evidenced by several violations being marked as "closed," though multiple active or unresolved violations remain.
