Augrented Insights Report for 815 Seneca Avenue

The two-family house at 815 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Elias Kaffash, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past year and a half, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 and HPD from November 2024 through March 2025. These complaints consistently indicate building-wide problems with heat and hot water, with the most recent service requests in March 2025 being marked as closed, though earlier complaints in 2024-2025 resulted in HPD issuing violations that required correction by the property owner.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding rodent control, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2024, though a compliance inspection in November 2024 passed. Additional concerning issues have been documented through various inspections and complaints. In 2021, Apartment 2L was cited for carbon monoxide detector issues and infestation problems, while Apartment 2R received a violation in 2024 for inadequate hot water supply.

The building has active violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file required External Low-Pressure Inspection documentation for the years 2019-2022, and historical records show plumbing issues and drainage concerns documented through Environmental Control Board violations in 2018. While some violations from 2021 related to building safety requirements have been resolved, including those concerning smoke detector notices and entrance door locks, the persistence of heating system problems and the presence of rat activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025, indicating some improvement in pest control measures.
