Augrented Insights Report for 1085 Nelson Avenue

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 1085 Nelson Avenue in Highbridge, owned by David Gunsberg and constructed in 1931, has experienced a range of significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in the spring of 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks and various sanitary conditions, particularly concerning garbage/recycling storage, which resulted in HPD violations. Between February and May 2025, the building also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, affecting both individual units and common areas.

Apartment 3D was identified in August 2024 as having multiple violations including pest infestations, peeling paint, and various plumbing and repair issues, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's infrastructure has required ongoing attention, with several emergency work orders issued in 2024-2025 addressing critical issues such as a defective fire escape drop ladder and severe masonry cracks in the facade. While most elevators complaints from 2023-2024 were found to contain no violations, there was one active violation from 2019 regarding failure to correct defects.

The property has maintained a zero-rate history for bedbug infestations since 2019 according to official reporting periods and has passed recent rodent inspections, though there were some instances of rat activity noted in 2022. Recent building inspections and complaints have focused on various maintenance issues including plumbing problems, emergency services access, and waste management, indicating ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Two significant facade-related violations were recorded in 2024, including one for obstructed fire escape access with flower pots and another for exterior building facade maintenance issues, though recent reports suggest prompt resolution of these concerns. The current state of the building shows a pattern of documented violations being addressed, though many recent complaints have resulted in HPD violations requiring correction within specified timeframes.
