Augrented Insights Report for 243 Seaman Avenue

243 Seaman Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building located in Inwood, constructed in 1937 and currently owned by Joseph Grubner. The building has experienced ongoing plumbing issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints documented in 2024-2025 regarding water supply, heavy flow water leaks, and bathroom fixtures. Apartment 33 has been particularly affected, with recent violations noted for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, water leak issues, and damaged plaster surfaces - though some violations have been certified as resolved.

The building has also faced rodent activity challenges, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 showing failed results for rat activity, though improvements have been noted in subsequent inspections. Earlier issues from 2021 included several violations related to tenant safety and insufficient tenant protection plans during construction, while 2024 saw a violation for obstructed fire escape access. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no infestations reported in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025).

The building's recent inspection history shows a pattern of plumbing-related complaints and maintenance issues requiring attention, though many complaints are ultimately closed without resulting violations. Improvements have been made in some areas, such as the resolution of several housing maintenance code violations in Apartment 33 in late 2024. The most recent relevant records indicate ongoing efforts to address both plumbing system challenges and safety compliance matters, particularly in maintaining proper detection systems and resolving water-related issues.
