Augrented Insights Report for 481 Wales Avenue

481 Wales Avenue is a 6-story, 51-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Michael Tirotta. Recent inspections in August 2024 revealed multiple issues requiring attention, including fire damage in apartments 2D and 3D, several violations of § 27-2005 ADM CODE regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint conditions in apartment 5D, and issues with the skylight over the public hall stair. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, with multiple HPD complaints in September 2021 regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), flooring problems, plumbing issues (including toilet problems), electrical wiring concerns, paint/plaster deficiencies, and cabinet problems - all of which were reportedly corrected according to HPD records.

Prior to this, there were heat/hot water and water supply complaints in November 2019 that could not be verified due to access issues. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2019 to present, with only one reported case in 2019 that was subsequently eradicated. There have been no reported bedbug infestations since then.

All recent bedbug reports (2020-2025) show zero infested units. Historical rodent inspections (2010-2023) have all passed successfully, indicating good pest control practices. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2018 but no violations were found upon inspection. While many of the documented issues have been addressed according to HPD records, the August 2024 violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding fire safety and interior conditions.
