Augrented Insights Report for 1601 Macombs Road

The six-story, 53-unit building at 1601 Macombs Road in Morris Heights, owned by Jennifer Lau and constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring heating issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about insufficient heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building system. Recent inspections in April and May 2025 showed temporary restorations of heat and hot water systems, but an April 2025 complaint remains open regarding insufficient heat/hot water in one apartment. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including pest control issues (with violations issued in April 2025), door/window problems, and wall maintenance needs.

The boiler room access issues and radiator problems in apartment 2A have been documented as ongoing violations since December 2024. From an infrastructure perspective, the building has active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations regarding the exterior facade's condition, with penalties totaling $18,750 imposed in 2021-2022 for failure to maintain the building's facade, submit required reports, and address various safety issues. The building has experienced multiple elevator service interruptions between 2021 and 2022, and while bedbug infestations were documented in 2019-2024, recent reports show zero infested units.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some violations noted in 2022, though recent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally passed. The property has maintained compliance with 311 reporting requirements, though the volume of heating-related complaints suggests ongoing temperature control challenges. The building's management has been responsive to many issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints being resolved through inspections and repairs, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data.
