Augrented Insights Report for 31 Bennett Avenue

31 Bennett Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building located in Washington Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Tillie Englander. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concerns being an unsanitary garbage storage situation (open since February 2025) and multiple elevator-related problems, including an open elevator maintenance violation as of June 2025. In early 2025, the building faced several inspection challenges, with Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to complete inspections for multiple complaints regarding ventilation systems, safety (carbon monoxide detectors), pest issues, appliance problems, and various other maintenance concerns.

Notably, there are also open Class B housing maintenance code violations from January 2024, including issues with water leaks and plaster repairs in Apartment 61. The elevator has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service dating back to at least 2020, along with separate maintenance violations. The building underwent a significant sustainability upgrade when gas dryers were installed in the cellar in 2020, leading to Environmental Control Board violations related to permits and building code compliance, though these were later resolved with penalties.

While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, there have been persistent issues with various maintenance items, including heat/hot water problems, window repairs, and unsanitary conditions. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. Recent inspections have shown some progress, with various older violations from 2021 being closed or dismissed between 2022 and 2024, though many current issues remain unresolved.
