Augrented Insights Report for 2478 Elm Place

2478 Elm Place is a two-family residence built in 1920 in the Fordham neighborhood, currently owned by Joseph Cohen. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in 2017, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (apt 2), where multiple violations were documented during inspections in May 2017. These included problems with pests (mice and roaches), inadequate hot water supply, defective kitchen faucets, and insufficient gas supply to kitchen appliances.

These violations were officially certified as corrected by the end of 2018. Additionally, during 2017, there were serious concerns about unauthorized occupancy, with inspections revealing illegal conversions and occupancy patterns, including a basement "Class A" apartment with improper plumbing and cooking facilities, though these violations were also certified corrected by late 2018. The building's recent history appears more stable, with regular rodent inspections showing consistent compliance since 2020, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing without incident.

Notably, there was one instance of rat activity reported in February 2024, but subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed. This pattern suggests improved maintenance practices in recent years, though the building's past history in 2017 involved multiple serious violations that affected resident comfort and safety. The property's current two-unit configuration appears stable, with no recent violations related to unauthorized occupancy or illegal apartments.
