Augrented Insights Report for 181 City Island Avenue

This three-story, six-unit tenement building at 181 City Island Avenue, owned by Barry Farkas, has experienced recurrent maintenance issues between 2021 and 2025. The most pressing concern throughout this period has been heat and hot water service, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2023 and 2024, though some were closed without inspection access.

More recently, from January 2025, there has been a documented slow water leak issue that prompted HPD inspection and violation issuance, which remains in the process of correction as of July 2025. The building has also faced persistent rodent control challenges, with various inspection results between 2021 and 2024 showing both rat activity and successful compliance. Additional maintenance matters have included interior conditions such as mold and ceiling issues in 2023, and multiple violations relating to building systems and safety.

Notable structural concerns involve an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding an unpermitted sidewalk shed, with associated penalties, along with historical issues related to building walls and facade maintenance documented in 2020. The building has maintained a zero-incident record for bedbugs over the past five inspection periods from 2020 to 2025, according to annual reporting requirements. Recent inspections have also identified various safety compliance concerns, including issues with self-closing doors and emergency access equipment, though many prior violations from 2021-2022 appear to have been addressed and closed through subsequent corrections.
