Augrented Insights Report for 235 Cypress Avenue

235 Cypress Avenue is a 6-story, 42-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by South Bronx Community Lemle Wolff LLC. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints between February and March 2025, though most were resolved relatively quickly; however, several complaints could not be verified due to lack of apartment access. The building has ongoing water-related concerns, with multiple emergency plumbing complaints reported in June 2025, including several that remain open, suggesting persistent infrastructure challenges.

Significant violations from September 2024 include water leak issues in apartments 5G and 6H, as well as problems with fire retardant materials in the 6th story hallway. The building has a documented history of electrical safety concerns from 2019-2020, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding defective/exposed wiring, and several ECB violations for electrical work without proper permits, though these were ultimately resolved. The property's maintenance history shows some positive indicators, including passing rodent inspections in 2023 and 2011, and consistent annual bedbug reports (2019-2024) showing no infestation cases.

Various repair permits were issued in 2018-2019 for unspecified electrical and general work. The building's historical records show some pattern of maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to the building's heating/hot water systems and water infrastructure. More recent inspections and complaints suggest these systems remain problematic, though some violations from previous years have been addressed and closed out.
