Augrented Insights Report for 481 Fairview Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story old law tenement building at 481 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Tony Klever and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. The most pressing current issues involve water-related problems, with multiple reports of leaks and damp spots, particularly noted between September 2023 and April 2024.

The building has also faced recurring sanitary concerns, including mold incidents, with several complaints filed through HPD, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued. In October 2023, the building received several Code violations related to maintenance and safety requirements, including broken plaster surfaces, visible mold, and a leaking roof in apartment 3R, along with environmental safety requirements regarding posting proper notices for tenants. The property's service history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with violations issued for slow leaks in October 2022 and September 2023, though some recent complaints in 2024 were closed without violations.

Safety compliance has also been addressed, with November 2023 certifications showing correction of violations related to encumbrances in common areas. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven years, and recent rodent inspections from 2018 documented rat activity, though inspections in May 2017 showed compliance. The Department of Buildings records show a permit issued in October 2022 for work described as "AL," though specific details of this work were not provided in the data.
