Augrented Insights Report for 679-81 Seneca Avenue

679-81 Seneca Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Min Wu. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints and inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2021 and 2024, though recent inspections, including one in September 2024, have shown improved conditions with properties passing inspections.

The building had several maintenance issues documented in 2018, including heating system problems affecting the entire building (emergency complaint), scalding hot water in Apt 2, leaky faucets in Apt 3, damaged plaster and paint in the 3rd-story public hall, and a mice infestation in the 3rd-story public hall, all of which have been resolved. The property is currently free of bedbug infestations, as evidenced by multiple filings from 2023-2025 indicating zero infested units during the reporting periods.

The building underwent several rodent baiting treatments in 2020, with the last recorded bait application occurring in July 2020, followed by improved inspection results. A Professional Certification Compliance Audit was conducted in 2018-2020, though the inspector was unable to gain access during final attempts. The most recent records indicate significantly improved pest control management, with the latest rodent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a passing grade, suggesting effective remediation of previous infestation issues.
