Augrented Insights Report for 479 Fairview Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 479 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1920 and currently owned by 479 Fairview Ave, LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The property has a significant history of water-related problems, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints filed between 2022 and 2023, including an emergency report in April 2023 that was closed without violations.

In 2022, the building faced various significant maintenance challenges, including complaints about heat and hot water (November), rodent sightings (September), and multiple water leak incidents between March and June, though most were closed without violations. The building has been actively managed regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025 filings show zero infested units), though there was a non-emergency unsanitary condition related to pests filed in June 2025. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received several violations that have been addressed over time.

Most recently, in June 2023, a violation was issued regarding a door not self-closing at the building entrance on the first story, following a previous November 2022 violation for a broken front entrance door lock. Earlier violations from 2021 and 2022 primarily related to water and sanitation issues, including stagnant water problems in the boiler room and cellar that were eventually resolved. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with most inspections between 2016 and 2022 passing, though there were failures noted during several initial inspections.
