Augrented Insights Report for 54 Featherbed Lane

54 Featherbed Lane, a 6-story, 68-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 in Morris Heights, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent months. The property, currently managed by owner Matthew Schmelzer, has active violations from a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 2A, including lead paint hazards, pest infestation, and various maintenance issues affecting walls, doors, and bathroom fixtures. The building has also faced recurrent heating problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2025 that HPD could not fully investigate due to access issues.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with pests, including significant bedbug infestations between 2019-2024, though recent reports show only one unit with infestations during the 2023-2024 reporting period. There have been improvements in rodent control, with several "Passed" results in 2024 inspections, though initial inspections showed "Rat Activity" in November 2024 and other months. The property has experienced various maintenance code violations and service requests in 2025, including issues with paint/plaster conditions, flooring, plumbing, and both bathroom and radiator problems.

While some complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, many resulted in violations that require the owner to undertake corrections within specified timeframes. The building's violation history also shows previous failures to comply with benchmarking and inspection requirements, though these violations were eventually dismissed. Recent rodent inspection results indicate improved management, with most recent inspections showing compliance.
