Augrented Insights Report for 5431 Sylvan Avenue

The two-story, 24-unit building at 5431 Sylvan Avenue in North Riverdale, owned by Francisco Pena since its 1972 construction, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from late 2024 through early 2025, there have been recurring problems with water leaks, mold, and ceiling conditions in apartment 1E, with violations issued that require repairs to address these issues.

The building has also had multiple 311 complaints related to water leaks and flooring problems in early 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these issues. During 2024, several emergency maintenance issues were reported and addressed, including water leaks, mold problems, and ceiling repairs, while violations were issued in December 2024 for water leak and mold conditions. Apartment 1A was cited in May 2024 for egress and ventilation issues that require attention.

The building's history includes active violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 and 2019 that remain unresolved as of June 2023. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints throughout 2023-2024 were investigated but typically resulted in no violations being found, though there was one instance in May 2024 of an inspector being unable to gain access. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in recent annual filings from 2022 to 2025, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing reinfestation.
