Augrented Insights Report for 618 Academy Street

618 Academy Street is a 5-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building in Inwood, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations recorded in 2025 alone. Most notably, there have been repeated problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower issues), water leaks, unsanitary conditions (including mold and pest infestations), and safety concerns (including a carbon monoxide detector violation).

The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with basic infrastructure, including a boiler that has been cited for being defective/inoperative in 2022 and 2024, though the most recent 2024-2025 annual bedbug report shows no infestations. While rodent inspections have generally passed since 2022, there have been periods of infestation and maintenance issues, particularly in basement apartment GF1, which has recorded multiple violations related to pests, water leaks, and sanitation. The Department of Buildings has documented various maintenance code violations, including issues with windows, water leaks, and pest infestations in different apartments.

Recent complaints from 2025 include problems with flooring, unsanitary conditions, and an open violation regarding garbage/recycling storage. Boiler-related complaints have been a recurring theme, with violations documented in 2020-2024, including a 2024 environmental control board violation that cited multiple boiler issues with a penalty imposed. The building's inspection history shows periods of both compliance and failure regarding rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing. While bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show decreasing infestation rates, the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and basic habitability standards.
