Augrented Insights Report for 1238 Simpson Street

The 67-unit, 8-story residential building at 1238 Simpson Street in East Morrisania, constructed in 2003 and currently owned by Jose Gomez, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. Most notably, there are currently open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions with pests (as of June 2025), multiple plumbing issues including sink, toilet, and water supply problems (as of June 2025), and a recent history of heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building.

The elevator systems have also been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2024-2025 regarding improper devices and emergency communication systems, resulting in significant penalties. The building has documented several infrastructure and maintenance challenges over the past few years, including water leaks (both in 2025 and 2024), a window frame issue in January 2025, and various plumbing problems.

Inspection records show a pattern of pest control issues, with violations for rodent infestations reported in multiple apartments (notably in 2021), though recent rodent inspections in 2022/2023 passed. The building has multiple open Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file required energy reports and inspections between 2019-2024, while recent weeks have seen additional plumbing-related complaints. While the building's maintenance record shows some improvements in certain areas, the persistence of heating, plumbing, and pest issues suggests ongoing challenges in building upkeep and resident comfort.
