Augrented Insights Report for 674 Academy Street

The five-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building at 674 Academy Street in Inwood, owned by Harry Hirsch and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most concerning are the recurring heat and hot water problems, with three documented complaints in 2024-2025, and a power outage in May 2025.

The building has also faced persistent moisture problems, with multiple complaints of mold (November 2024, December 2024) and a water leak (October 2024) resulting in violations requiring the owner to address these conditions. Recent housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 specifically document mold issues, pest control (roach infestation), and concerns about safety devices including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment D6. More recent complaints from June 2025 indicate continuing issues, with open maintenance requests for electrical problems, window frames, door frames, wall conditions, and plumbing issues.

The building's rodent inspection history shows variable results, with passed inspections in April 2025 and December 2024, though there were indications of rodent activity during several inspections in 2023-2024. While there were some bedbug-related reports (most notably in 2024), these appear to have been addressed promptly with no ongoing infestations as of the latest filings. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with recent violations and service requests suggesting continuing challenges with building systems and maintenance response.
