Augrented Insights Report for 5 Minerva Place

The 6-story, 75-unit New Law Tenement building at 5 Minerva Place in Fordham, owned by Jay Miller and constructed in 1928, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building documented between January and April 2025, though these issues were generally resolved upon inspection. The building has also faced water-related maintenance challenges, with recent complaints in May 2025 about slow leaks and ceiling paint problems, neither of which resulted in violations. A concerning pattern of pest-related violations emerged in early 2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions linked to pests, though some inspections did not find housing code violations.

The building's maintenance history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, with a significant focus on addressing various violations in Apartment 6L during late 2024, including issues with plaster surfaces, kitchen fixtures, and electrical wiring. More serious safety-related violations were documented between 2023 and 2024, including concerns about illegal gas hook-ups, exposed electrical wiring, and an obstructed exit passageway. Recent inspections from 2024 have revealed persistent rat activity throughout the building, with multiple bait applications and compliance checks showing continuing rodent presence. The building's environmental control board violations indicate ongoing compliance issues, including an active violation from 2024 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order related to building facade maintenance.

The property has a documented history of building systems issues, including multiple complaints about boiler problems and heating system defects between 2023 and 2024. While some violations have been resolved through correction notices and certifications, such as those from 2024 in Apartment 6L, others remain active or were recently closed without full resolution. The building's management has generally responded to complaints through the Housing Preservation and Development department, though access issues limited inspections for some complaints. Bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no documented infestations, while multiple plumbing and structural issues have been addressed through permits issued between 2018 and 2020.
