Augrented Insights Report for 1221 College Avenue

The 52-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1221 College Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Abraham Reiss and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints registered between late 2024 and early 2025, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirmed the majority were resolved upon inspection. There are also significant concerns regarding pest infestations, with three separate pest-related HPD complaints in 2025 and late 2024, including a March 2025 violation that warrants attention.

The building's elevator system has been problematic, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and ECB fines in 2024-2025, indicating service interruptions and maintenance concerns that particularly affect this single-elevator building. Additionally, there are ongoing issues with building envelope maintenance, as evidenced by multiple window pane violations recorded in late 2024, and structural concerns with reports of cracked walls and bulging features from 2021-2022. Recent inspections present mixed results: while rodent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed, there was a failed rodent inspection in November 2024.

The building's bedbug infestation history shows varying levels of activity, with three years (2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023) reporting some infestations, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no reported activity. Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been documented and addressed, including safety concerns related to fire escape maintenance and interior building systems. Despite these issues, the property has been granted a certificate of compliance during recent inspections, suggesting basic regulatory requirements are being met, though ongoing maintenance challenges indicate potential concerns for resident comfort and safety.
