Augrented Insights Report for 649 Washington Street

The 12-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 649 Washington Street in the West Village, built in 1880 and currently owned by Robert Moses, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are two open violations from June 2024 in Apartment 3 related to a malfunctioning intercom system and damaged ceilings, and various building safety concerns were documented in 2024 including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a water leak.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by 311 service requests and HPD complaints, with the most recent being a bee infestation reported in November 2024. Historical records from 2021 show significant violations related to an unauthorized transient occupancy in Apartment 4, which led to temporary penalties including shortcomings in fire safety systems, egress requirements, and the need for sprinklers, although these were ultimately resolved. The property has generally maintained satisfactory rodent control compliance, passing inspections consistently from 2018 through 2024, except for a single failed inspection in October 2018.

Recent maintenance history shows a series of interconnected issues, particularly affecting Apartment 3, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, mailboxes, and various repair needs. While the building has passed multiple inspections and maintained bedbug-free status in recent years, the current open violations and unresolved complaints regarding building systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent building permit issued was in August 2019 for unspecified work, and two complaints from 2024 regarding water drainage issues were closed with inspectors unable to gain access.
