Augrented Insights Report for 1985 Davidson Avenue

The five-story, 1924 New Law Tenement building at 1985 Davidson Avenue in Morris Heights, currently owned by Sam Klein, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (basin/sink), paint/plaster concerns (walls, ceiling, and window frame), and electrical issues (lighting). Several of these complaints required HPD inspections, with at least one violation issued for plumbing issues, though many others could not be properly inspected due to access problems.

The building has an active rodent management program, with a rat sighting complaint in June 2025, though an inspection that followed in July 2025 passed without issues. The property has documented several housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 4E between 2023-2024, including issues with window guards, roach infestations, and multiple repair needs. Elevator reliability has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2019-2025, though recent inspections have shown no violations. The building has active violations regarding energy efficiency requirements, with failure to display the energy efficiency score and grade, and to perform a category 5 inspection.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 suggest historical maintenance issues, including a noted open sewer line in 2021. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows no infestations except for one case in 2020, and all recent filings (2021-2024) indicate zero infested or re-infested units. The building's maintenance pattern shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with the most recent violations primarily related to building systems and infrastructure. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections and shows no current bedbug problems, the history of various maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and timely access for inspections.
