Augrented Insights Report for 1525 Nelson Avenue

The 26-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1525 Nelson Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Adi Joseph and built in 1926, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025. Most recently, in June 2025, the building faced multiple issues including mold, pest infestations, and an electric/gas range problem, with HPD issuing violations for the pest and mold complaints. The building currently has several open violations from a December 2024 inspection, primarily affecting apartment 3E, including problems with heating, plumbing fixtures, window conditions, and an ongoing rodent infestation issue.

The property has a documented pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, which prompted multiple complaints in 2025. Rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown inconsistent results, with the most recent July 2025 inspection resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons." While recent HPD inspections in 2025 found some conditions did not violate housing laws, the building has a history of pest and mold issues. A window-related violation from December 2024 involves plexiglass replacement requirements at the building's front entrance.

The building's maintenance history shows periods of improvement, as evidenced by past successful rodent compliance inspections in 2024 and 2018, but recent inspections have revealed persistent maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and building conditions. Notably, complaint numbers from 2023 and 2024 related to building shaking and failure to maintain were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. The absence of bedbug reports in recent years (2021-2024) suggests effective pest management in this specific area.
