Augrented Insights Report for 170 New York Avenue

The 36-unit, 4-story tenement building at 170 New York Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Yazmin Galicia and built in 1917, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance and safety issues. Between February and March 2025, the building has had several inspections where HPD inspectors were consistently unable to gain access to perform necessary evaluations of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, flooring conditions, and various other maintenance concerns. Notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water in early 2025, and the building has faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by both a February 2025 complaint and an open violation from January 2024 concerning mice and roach infestations in Apartment 1A.

The building has an active violation from 2023 regarding failure to file 2022 external low pressure inspection documentation, and historical complaints indicate ongoing difficulties with building access for inspections. Between 2021-2022, there were violations related to fence height and fire escape maintenance. While the property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2021, rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple instances of rat activity and bait application reported between 2023 and 2024.

The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status, though previous inspections throughout 2024 indicate ongoing challenges with vermin control. The building has also experienced various electrical and maintenance-related complaints over the past years, with inspectors frequently unable to gain access during their visits. The property's record shows significant ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the early months of 2025, with multiple safety-related complaints regarding detectors and building systems, compounded by access issues that prevent proper inspections and resolution of these concerns. The persistent nature of some issues, such as pests and heating problems, suggests systemic maintenance challenges within the building.
