Augrented Insights Report for 70 Townsend Avenue

The three-story building at 70 Townsend Avenue in Clifton, owned by Anderson Pena, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. Most notably, in October 2024, multiple service requests were filed regarding heat/hot water issues (entire building), window frame problems, floor concerns, and mold, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. These recent issues join a pattern of pest-related problems, with violations issued in September 2023 and multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions due to pests between September 2022 and January 2024. The building, constructed in 1899, currently has several open violations as of 2024, including multiple citations related to self-closing door issues at various entrances, as well as violations for failing to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023.

An earlier complaint from 2019 regarding a defective boiler was investigated but no violations were found at that time. Despite these maintenance issues, the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no recorded infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting this particular issue has not been a recent concern. The current open violations include: 1. Multiple open violations for self-closing door issues at building entrances, including missing or defective doors and hinges.

2. An open violation from 2024 regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports. 3. Active violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2023). The pattern of issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, though the property has documented compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent filings showing zero infested units.
