Augrented Insights Report for 409 Ridgewood Avenue

409 Ridgewood Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story brick tenement building located in Cypress Hills, built in 1915 and currently owned by Rosalba Pena. The property has experienced significant and concerning issues in recent years, most notably suffering from elevator instability between 2023 and 2024, leading to emergency complaints.

In September 2024, major structural concerns were raised, resulting in a full vacate order due to building shaking and compromised egress, with reports of extensive smoke, water, and firefighting damage following a fire incident. The building has multiple open violations related to safety inspections, including failure to file required annual pressure inspections for the boiler system from 2018 to 2024. The property has a documented history of heating and hot water issues, particularly during winter months in 2019-2021, with multiple complaints about lack of heat or hot water affecting entire buildings and individual apartments.

Additional concerns have been noted regarding building safety and maintenance, including lead paint hazards, locking devices on fire escape windows, obstructed fire escapes, and various safety code violations documented in 2020. While the building's bedbug reports from 2022 and 2025 show no infestations during the reporting periods, the property has had multiple bedbug violation notices between 2020-2024 requiring annual reporting compliance. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, with multiple active violations related to both building safety and inspection requirements.
