Augrented Insights Report for 1585 Townsend Avenue

The 1585 Townsend Avenue building, a 6-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable concerns being heating systems and rodent activity. The property has documented multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a February 2025 apartment-only heat issue and a December 2022 building-wide heat problem, though most of these were resolved or inspected. Rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple rat sightings recorded between 2024 and 2025, and compliance inspections showing ongoing issues.

The building has also faced various infrastructure challenges, including plumbing problems with water leaks reported in 2023-2024, door issues in multiple apartments, and appliance problems with at least one refrigerator complaint. The property has had several significant violations requiring attention, including a Class C violation in 2024 regarding an illegal locking device on the entrance door of apartment 4I, and a 2023 notice related to garbage storage requiring proper metal receptacles. Two 2023 violations concerned obstructed fire escape passageways with air conditioners and other objects.

While the building has no active bedbug reports since 2019, and pest violations have been mostly resolved, there are historical records of cockroach and mouse infestations in various apartments. The facade is currently under scrutiny, with an active 2023 ECB violation regarding cracks in the stucco work noted during inspections, and there are outstanding DOB violations from 2019 related to elevator maintenance. While the building's management has generally responded to complaints and rectified many issues, the persistence of certain problems, particularly related to heating and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
