Augrented Insights Report for 21 Bennett Avenue

21 Bennett Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Chaim Englander. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and May 2025, indicating persistent building-wide problems with heating systems despite HPD inspections often finding that service had been restored by the time of inspection.

The elevator systems have also been a significant concern, with multiple violations and complaints between 2020-2025 regarding single-device operation and lack of alternate service, though the most recent complaint from 2025 regarding egress was marked as an Oath Violation Served. The building's maintenance history shows various quality-of-life issues have been addressed over the years. In 2021, several violations were documented in Apartment 66, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and interior surfaces that required repair.

Building-wide inspections have shown some concerning patterns, particularly regarding pest management, with rat activity recorded in 2019 and 2020, though more recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have passed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024 shows zero infested dwelling units reported in the last three filings. There have been several infrastructure improvements and repairs logged through the years, including a 2021 Class 1 Environmental Control Board violation regarding fire service installation, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed.
