Augrented Insights Report for 222 Seaman Avenue

The six-story residential building at 222 Seaman Avenue in Inwood, owned by Margaret Brunn, has a history of significant maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related problems. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water problems throughout the building, which were processed as duplicate complaints. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with several emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems recorded in May 2025, and similar complaints documented in 2024.

Significant safety and maintenance concerns were identified in 2024, including open violations for visible mold, door hardware issues, and security concerns in multiple apartments (B1, C2, D1, D4, and E6), along with infrastructure problems such as heavy water leaks, steam pipe issues, and unsanitary conditions that were classified as emergencies. The building's mechanical systems have been a continuing source of concern, with multiple complaints about the boiler system documented between 2020-2022, including defective or inoperative equipment complaints that resulted in Oath Violations being served. Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 and 2022 highlighted various boiler and flue system deficiencies, though records indicate these were resolved.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing improved results over time, with all recent inspections passing except for one instance of rat activity noted in 2023. Bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate previous infestations in 2019 and 2020, but no infestations or eradications have been reported in the most recent filings from 2023-2024. The property has also experienced structural-related complaints in 2021 regarding building vibrations, though inspectors were ultimately unable to confirm violations. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing basic habitability issues, though many violations remain open as of the latest data, particularly regarding door hardware, mold, and safety systems.
