Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 2021 Grand Avenue in Morris Heights, built in 2006 and currently owned by 72-55 Metropolitan Ave, has experienced significant heating system issues in October 2023, with multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received at least four service requests during this period, with one case being resolved through tenant confirmation of restoration, while others resulted in either attempted inspections or inability to gain apartment access. The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with reported rat presence in both April and June 2023, though subsequent inspections in October 2024 and July 2025 have passed without incident. The property also experienced an administrative issue in December 2020 regarding its Certificate of Occupancy, though a February 2021 inspection found no violations at that time. While the building generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections between 2015-2019, the recent years show a notable increase in pest-related issues, contributing to an overall picture of maintenance challenges in the recent past, particularly during the heating system failures in late 2023.
