Augrented Insights Report for 1685 Topping Avenue

The 43-unit, 6-story building at 1685 Topping Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple heat and hot water complaints were reported across the entire building, with some remaining unresolved, and a paint/plaster complaint was recently filed in May 2025.

In June 2025, multiple environmental issues were documented, including unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, and safety concerns related to fire escapes and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has a history of water-related problems, with violations recorded in October 2024 regarding leaks, mold, and pest infestation in Apartment 56, as well as building-wide issues documented by the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) related to the façade, drainage, and ventilation systems. Previous complaints include elevator service issues (2021), building shaking concerns (2023), and various safety violations, including non-compliance with smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements.

The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts between 2024-2025, with some inspections showing rat activity despite passing compliance checks. While bedbug reports from 2019-2024 consistently show zero infested units, and some recent inspections have indicated improvements in rodent control, the building continues to face persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and water-related infrastructure. The most recent DOB inspection from July 2025 showed compliance for rodent control, though an active ECB violation from December 2023 remains regarding exterior façade conditions, and there are several unresolved DOB violations related to swamping conditions from 2024.
