Augrented Insights Report for 545 Academy Street

545 Academy Street is a 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Joseph Zitolo and located in Inwood. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building in October 2023, which HPD was unable to verify due to lack of access. Multiple emergency complaints from October 2022 regarding electrical wiring and wall conditions were also closed without inspection access.

The building has maintained consistent basic rodent control, passing regular inspections from 2018 through 2025, though there have been documented pest infestations in several apartments, including roaches in Apartments 22 and 35 (2020) and mice in Apartment 24 (2019). A recent bedbug infestation was reported in late 2024, though records show consistent eradication efforts. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with building systems and resident comfort.

Notable issues include an inability to access units for inspections during multiple complaints, suggesting potential access coordination challenges. Violations related to window guard requirements were documented in 2020 for Apartment 35, and there have been multiple documented pest infestation issues in various units requiring official notice of violation (NOV) and certification of correction. While the building has passed all recent rodent inspections and showed recent improvement in pest management with only one documented bedbug incident in 2024 (which was reportedly eradicated), the pattern of heating and maintenance complaints, along with the age of the building, indicates ongoing maintenance oversight is required.
