Augrented Insights Report for 2885 Valentine Avenue

At 2885 Valentine Avenue, a 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1924 with 42 units, current ownership under Harley Friedman has been marked by numerous maintenance and compliance issues, particularly during 2024-2025. The property has experienced persistent plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2025 including toilet issues, heavy water leaks, and unsanitary mold conditions. Significant maintenance concerns emerged in 2024 with violations issued for water leaks, flooring damage, damp spots, and potential lead-based paint conditions.

The building has documented rodent activity through multiple inspections in 2024-2025, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations. The property faced serious violations in 2023 when it was cited for maintaining an unpermitted water and waste line installation in common areas, as well as self-closing door issues and safety concerns with a cracked and collapsed floor section. These resulted in penalties totaling $3,962.50.

Multiple apartments (notably 3 and 6) have documented issues including pest infestations, water leaks, door and lock problems, and various repair needs. Historical records show a pattern of HVAC and plumbing-related complaints, with a notable inspection in 2018 revealing hazardous boiler conditions that required immediate attention. The building's owners have failed to maintain consistent compliance with energy benchmarking requirements, as evidenced by multiple violations from 2018 onward. Recent 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints continue to reflect ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing systems and building sanitation.
