Augrented Insights Report for 5620 Sylvan Avenue

The 77-unit, 6-story apartment building at 5620 Sylvan Avenue in Riverdale, owned by Phil Fram, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2023, with the most pressing being recurring heat and hot water problems. Between late 2023 and 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including emergency complaints in January and June 2025. In February 2024, the building faced concerns regarding fire escape safety and garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

A 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in apartment 3E related to safety features (missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector) and door hardware, along with various repairs needed in apartments 1D, 2E, and 3D involving plaster surfaces, paint, and floor issues. A significant incident occurred in August 2023 when a fire at apartment 2D caused temporary partial vacate orders for apartments 2D and 3D due to fire, smoke, and water damage, though these orders were later rescinded. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints about inconsistent heat and hot water throughout 2023-2025.

The property underwent exterior façade work in 2023, which generated several complaints about building safety, though no violations were ultimately found. The Department of Buildings recorded a fire incident in 2023 that required special inspections, and there have been ongoing concerns about building systems maintenance, including a plumbing violation for radiator issues in 2021. However, one positive aspect is the building's consistent bedbug and rodent inspection results, with no pest infestations reported since 2019. The property appears to have maintained basic compliance with Health and Safety codes, though there are several open violations related to interior repairs and safety equipment as of the latest inspection data from 2023-2024.
