Augrented Insights Report for 1854 Cedar Avenue

The 6-story, 106-unit residential building at 1854 Cedar Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Christopher Lacovara, has experienced recurring issues with pest infestations, moisture problems, and maintenance concerns since 2024. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent and pest problems, with multiple violations issued in 2025 (including a June complaint of unsanitary conditions and pests). The building has documented water-related issues, including a current open violation from September 2024 concerning roof leaks affecting Apartment 6P, and multiple emergency service requests in June 2025 regarding heat/hot water and plumbing issues.

The property has a history of mold problems, with violations issued in 2024 and early 2025, particularly affecting the bathroom in Apartment 6P. The building also experienced significant elevator issues in 2024, with multiple complaints leading to an Environmental Control Board violation regarding an out-of-service device damaged by fire, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. A pattern of maintenance violations has emerged, including paint/plaster issues in various apartments and problems with self-closing doors in Apartment 5A.

The property has shown recurring bedbug activity, with reports in 2024-2025 involving multiple units, though records indicate successful eradication efforts. Recent inspections have shown mixed results, with several rodent inspections in 2024-2025 failing for "Other Reasons," though some inspections passed. The building's management has faced scrutiny for delayed responses to certain maintenance requests, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access to perform inspections, though these complaints were closed due to lack of timely response from residents. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with prompt issue resolution and building upkeep, particularly regarding moisture, pest control, and elevator functionality.
