Augrented Insights Report for 38 Post Avenue

The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 38 Post Avenue in Inwood, owned by Michael Haas, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years, with an alarming pattern of heat and hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024. The most recent series of complaints occurred in November 2024, with multiple emergency reports indicating either building-wide or apartment-specific heating problems, though in several cases, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building also faced several housing maintenance code violations, including a carbon monoxide detector issue in January 2023, and a window frame problem in January 2024, though most of these violations have been classified as resolved by mid-2024. The property has undergone various inspections and encountered multiple regulatory interactions since 2018, including issues with lead paint notification requirements in July 2024, and several Building Department inspections showing problems with heat supply, particularly affecting Apartment 2.

The building's history shows some concerning patterns with rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2023 indicating rat activity, though the most recent 2024 and 2025 inspections passed. Additional historical context reveals past issues with construction practices and tenant protection plans in 2018-2020, though most of these violations were resolved, including a significant $6,250 penalty for inadequate tenant protection plans in October 2020. The building appears to have maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last several filing periods from 2019 through 2024.
