Augrented Insights Report for 1255 Longfellow Avenue

1255 Longfellow Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement built in 1910, currently owned by Uri Dreifus. The building has experienced significant heating system challenges in recent months, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between February and March 2025, including several building-wide issues.

During this period, HPD inspections were frequently unable to gain access to units, though one apartment inspection in March 2025 did not reveal any housing law violations. The building's maintenance history shows various structural concerns, including an active ECB violation from December 2024 regarding vertical cracks and stucco issues, and a 2024 inspection cited problems with the steam boiler system. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing consistent evidence of rats between 2019 and 2024, though no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past five years.

Recent interior repairs include multiple violations addressed in 2024-2025, such as issues with Apartment 15's bathroom fixtures and various violations related to fire escape maintenance. The building has faced structural scrutiny in the past, with complaints about building shaking and stability in both 2018 and 2024. While some violations have been resolved, including several from December 2024 inspection, there remain open issues from 2024 regarding external wall conditions and necessary repairs.
