Augrented Insights Report for 557 Academy Street

The 77-unit, 5-story tenement building at 557 Academy Street in Inwood, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2020. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water emergencies affecting the entire building, with the most recent incident occurring in November 2023.

The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, including a series of water-related issues in 2021 and 2022, door/windown problems in 2023, and pest control situations in 2023. Recent inspections of Apartment 3 (2024) revealed violations related to paint, floor repairs, and a mouse infestation.

The building has had two significant incidents in 2023 that warrant attention: fire damage in Apartment 1 (July 2023) and issues with scalding water in the same apartment (October 2023). In terms of building security, there have been violations noted in 2023 regarding illegal locking mechanisms on bulkhead doors and self-closing door issues. However, the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all eight recent inspections from 2019 to 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2021-2025), with the most recent reports indicating zero infested units.
