Augrented Insights Report for 691 Gerard Avenue

691 Gerard Avenue is a 6-story, 65-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Binyomin Herzl. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between March and April 2025, though many inspections were unable to gain building access. Recent maintenance concerns include open violations regarding a refrigerator and electric/gas range appliances as of June 2025. The building's infrastructure has faced several significant challenges, particularly with the elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints including an active complaint filed in June 2025 about single device service with no alternate.

Past issues include documented boiler problems in December 2023 leading to violations about access to the heating system, and building facade concerns with active violations dating back to April 2021. The building's safety systems have been under scrutiny, with violations noted for various fire safety equipment and structural concerns. A 2024 inspection found deficiencies with fire doors on multiple floors, and several elevator-related violations have been recorded including failure to maintain proper service. The property has also faced electrical and plumbing compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications at the cellar level.

A series of rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 indicate persistent pest control challenges, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" and bait application requirements. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019. Additionally, several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open or were recently resolved, including issues with self-closing doors, stairway maintenance, and carbon monoxide/smoke detector requirements. The current violation history shows active penalties for failure to comply with a commissioner's order from 2021 and unresolved facade maintenance issues from 2023, though some violations from late 2023 regarding heating system access have been marked as resolved.
