Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

970 Anderson Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building located in Highbridge and owned by Mario Martinez. The building, constructed in 1909, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during the winter months of 2024-2025, with recurring problems related to heat and hot water supply affecting the entire building. Between January 2025 and April 2025, there were multiple complaints about these systems, some of which resulted in HPD violations. Other recent issues include electrical problems, with recorded power outages and lighting concerns in 2024, along with rodent sightings investigated by DOHMH in April and August 2024. Two open complaints regarding door and window issues have been outstanding since 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of infrastructure challenges, including a 2019 violation related to a defective boiler. More positively, the property underwent a tenant safety inspection in June 2023 that found no violations at the time of inspection, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the last two reporting periods (2022-2024). A notable open violation from June 2023 concerns the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of 2023. While some complaints have been addressed and closed, many recent issues, particularly regarding heating systems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect tenant comfort and safety.
