Augrented Insights Report for 481 4th Avenue

481 4th Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit old law tenement building in South Slope, built in 1931 and currently owned by Eric Nachimovsky. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints registered in January 2025 and December 2024, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could confirm the conditions. Between December 2023 and January 2024, multiple complaints were investigated, resulting in several violations including issues with flooring/stairs, plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower), and wall conditions.

Notably, a 2024 inspection of apartment 4R revealed multiple violations including defective floor conditions (sloping), water leak issues, and hot water temperature problems, with some violations remaining open as of May 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues with water-related problems, including two heavy flow water leak complaints in December 2023 and August 2023, and various other plumbing-related issues. Additional concerns have included mold (December 2023), flooring problems, and various maintenance issues documented in multiple HPD and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.

While the building experienced rodent activity as recently as 2018, there have been no significant pest complaints in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2019-2023) showing minimal infestation activity. The property has also seen some governance compliance issues, with violations noted in 2024 regarding door self-closing mechanisms, security concerns, and carbon monoxide detection devices. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint in August 2024 regarding work without a permit could indicate ongoing maintenance or construction irregularities, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the conditions. This report is based on available building data through October 2023 and current date information as of July 2025, providing a comprehensive overview of the property's recent history and maintenance concerns.
