Augrented Insights Report for 1685 Selwyn Avenue

The 6-story, 22-unit building at 1685 Selwyn Avenue, owned by Josh Hubi and constructed in 1936, has experienced numerous maintenance issues, with particular concerns around elevator reliability and sanitation. As of April 2025, there are two open HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to sewage and pests.

The building has a significant number of outstanding violations, particularly in apartment 702, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape accessibility, and various plaster and paint deficiencies. Recent building maintenance has focused on addressing rodent activity, with multiple baiting operations conducted throughout 2024 and 2025, though compliance inspections have consistently indicated rat presence. The elevator system has a documented history of problems, with multiple violations and complaints between 2021 and 2024, including instances of the car being out of service with no alternate access available.

Recent structural concerns have been noted regarding the building facade, with violations issued in 2023-2024 regarding cracked bricks, bulging walls, and deteriorated stucco. While the building has maintained a clean record of bedbug infestations since 2019, the rodent control efforts suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The property has active violations related to failure to file required FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reports, which are critical for building safety compliance.
