Augrented Insights Report for 209 Bennett Avenue

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 209 Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Florence Edelstein and containing 30 units, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints recorded in 2025 (most recently in February), 2024, and 2022, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. The building has also faced recurring elevator maintenance concerns, with an open complaint as of February 2025 regarding maintenance issues, and multiple violations for having only one elevator device with no alternate service, resulting in Oath Violations being served in 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been documented for specific units, most notably in 2024 for leaky faucets in Apartment 3D, while Apartment 3B experienced multiple issues in 2021 including infestation problems, plumbing concerns, and a broken floor.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent focus of regulatory attention, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to elevator maintenance and emergency communication systems, though recent inspections in 2024 resulted in the installation of required systems. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years of mandatory reporting. Rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, though there were periods of rat activity reported in 2022, with subsequent inspections showing successful resolution of these issues.

The building has a history of heat/hot water service interruptions, with several complaints closed by HPD indicating restoration of services, though recent complaints suggest this remains an ongoing concern. Additionally, there are several active ECB violations regarding the failure to submit required building examination reports, dating back to 2020-2024, with associated penalties. (Please note that this report is based on available data up to October 2023, with some information extending into 2025. The ongoing status of complaints, violations, and service issues may have changed since this data was collected.)
