Augrented Insights Report for 2-79 St Nicholas Avenue

The 3-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 2-79 St Nicholas Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by 279 Nicholas LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in February 2023, there was an emergency heat and hot water failure affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within three days.

The building has a concerning history of pest control challenges, with multiple pest-related complaints and violations between 2021 and 2022, including rodent infestations and a 2021 violation specifically citing cockroach problems in Apartment 2. There have been recurring issues with building safety systems, including three active violations for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections (2021-2023) and a 2024 violation for not filing the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple regulatory actions related to its gas system, with significant safety concerns noted in 2018 regarding unpermitted gas work and improper gas piping installation, which resulted in violations that were primarily resolved but included one active violation with a $12,500 penalty.

Water and heat system maintenance has been inconsistent, with multiple service requests and violations recorded between 2021 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows periods of both compliance and non-compliance with basic housing maintenance codes, including a range of unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and rodent presence. The most recent bedbug reports from 2022 and 2023 show no recorded infestations during the specified periods, suggesting some improvement in pest management, while recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed the building passed inspection, though it had previously failed in 2022.
