Augrented Insights Report for 1971 Grand Avenue

The 6-story, 39-unit tenement building at 1971 Grand Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Rick Gropper, has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. The building has had multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2025, with the most recent being reported in May 2025. Currently, there are several open violations from April 2025 related to safety and building maintenance, including problems with window guards, the ventilation system, and cabinet issues, along with a safety concern regarding the fire escape.

The building's infrastructure continues to show challenges, evidenced by ongoing water supply issues (with an open heavy flow water leak as of June 2025) and previous plumbing emergencies earlier in 2025. The building's history reveals recurring infrastructure and maintenance problems, with 2024 violations in apartment 6E noting issues with a broken mixing valve, leaky faucets, and other plumbing concerns. Apartment 2E showed multiple violations in late 2024, including problems with mold, pest infestation, and ventilation system issues.

While bedbug infestations were documented in 2019 through 2021, records indicate no reported infestations from 2022 through 2024. The elevator system also appears to have maintenance concerns, with an active complaint regarding single device operation filed in April 2025, and previous complaints about failure to maintain records in 2023. Recent rodent inspections show inconsistent results, with some inspections indicating rat activity in 2024-2025, though earlier inspections from 2017 through 2023 had passed.
