Augrented Insights Report for 2155 Grand Avenue

2155 Grand Avenue is a 5-story, 45-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Binyomin Herzl. The property has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple inspection-based violations. Most notably, there are active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations regarding building wall maintenance, including cracked bricks and defective mortar joints, with penalties totaling $4,375. Recent service requests from April 2025 show multiple building deficiencies, including door/window issues, pests, mold, and problems with paint/plaster, flooring/stairs, and heating/hot water systems.

The building has had recurring rodent activity, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" as recently as April 2025, and various sanitation concerns have been documented. A comprehensive inspection in December 2024 resulted in several violations, including issues with a retaining wall, bulkhead doors, and maintenance of public areas, particularly affecting the 5th story. While some violations have been certified as corrected, including those related to apartment E6 (such as ceiling plaster and mold issues), other persistent problems remain unresolved. The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple permit-related issues, including work done without proper permits in late 2023/early 2024, and there are active penalties for failure to maintain building walls in a code-compliant manner.

The building has maintained a "0" infestation status for bedbugs in all recent reporting periods, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue, though other pest problems persist. The building’s inspection history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding windows, doors, plumbing, and general sanitation. While some historical violations from 2024-2025 have been resolved, there remains a notable number of active violations and pending corrections. The property has undergone various permit-related work, particularly in 2018-2019, though some recent alterations have prompted compliance issues.
