Augrented Insights Report for 879 Cypress Avenue

879 Cypress Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1931 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, currently owned by Jac Zicherman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most current concerns (from March-May 2025) involving pest-related sanitary conditions that were not inspected due to lack of access. Previous complaints from 2024 included rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, while 2022 saw multiple uninspected complaints regarding mold and water leaks.

The property has an active ECB violation from September 2024 for failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with a penalty of $3,125. Historical violations are notable: between 2019-2020, multiple citations were issued regarding obstructed fire exits and maintenance issues, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of access denial for inspections, with multiple complaints being closed without inspection results.

While there have been various violations related to building safety and maintenance, including issues with the fire escape and front entrance doors, many of these were resolved through compliance. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2020-2024. Rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 showing compliance. The building's management has had periods of both compliance and non-compliance with various maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the pattern of open violations and their subsequent resolutions.
