Augrented Insights Report for 195 Bennett Avenue

195 Bennett Avenue is a 6-story, 56-unit residential building constructed in 1939 in Washington Heights, currently owned by Martin Scharf. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in December 2024 and February 2025 affecting the entire building, though HPD was often unable to gain access for inspections. Recent maintenance history shows significant attention required in late 2024, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and emergency complaints related to heat issues, unsanitary conditions (pests), and flooring problems.

A comprehensive inspection in October 2024 revealed several safety concerns, including the need to secure loose marble treads in stairways, address fire escape obstruction by window air conditioners, and repair smoke detector and carbon monoxide detection systems in Apartment 5G. The building's systems and infrastructure have prompted various complaints and inspections over recent years. Between 2020 and 2025, there were issues with the elevator system requiring attention, though inspections generally found no serious violations.

A series of rodent inspections in 2022 required bait application, but more recent inspections in 2024 passed without issues, indicating improved conditions. The building's exterior maintenance has been scrutinized, with violations related to facade upkeep and tenant protection plans noted between 2020 and 2022, though these have been resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the past five years. Inspections and maintenance responses suggest ongoing attention to safety systems, including door closures and fire safety equipment, with various violations noted and subsequently addressed.
