Augrented Insights Report for 165 Seaman Avenue

At 165 Seaman Avenue in Inwood, a 6-story, 72-unit building constructed in 1937 and currently owned by Adam Parkoff, several significant maintenance and safety issues have emerged, particularly in recent years. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding the building's intercom/buzzer system that have persisted since February 2025, alongside an open door-related complaint from December 2024. These issues follow a pattern of intercom system problems, with similar complaints recorded in 2024.

Additionally, there were concerning health and safety issues in 2024, including mold violations documented in April 2024 affecting apartment 6A, and a rodent infestation problem, with inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity despite previous inspections passing from 2020 to 2023. In terms of building systems, an emergency heat and hot water complaint was logged in January 2025, though it was marked as closed shortly after. The building's maintenance history also reveals various infrastructure concerns, including water leak issues documented in 2023-2024, and multiple violations related to safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024 (apartment 1K).

Previous violations from 2021 noted problems with the building's compactor room, including issues with walls and fire-retardant ceilings. The property has had its share of compliance inspections, with some violations requiring attention, such as the mold conditions in 6A and safety device concerns in 1K that were eventually certified as corrected. Notably, the building's elevator systems have been subject to scrutiny, with a complaint regarding multiple devices recorded in 2019. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports filed since 2017-2018, the persistence of various system-related complaints and recent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
