Augrented Insights Report for 238 West 19th Street

238 West 19th Street, a 16-story, 200-unit residential building constructed in 1986 and currently owned by Jeff Pisano, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, between September 2023 and February 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including slow leaks and damp spots, along with ceiling and wall paint/plaster concerns. Some of these issues were classified as emergency complaints, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations of housing laws.

The building is currently under scrutiny for façade-related issues, with an active "Unsafe Notification" complaint filed in October 2024 and a concerning violation regarding failure to submit an acceptable Cycle 9B report of critical examination for the exterior wall, issued in April 2024 with a $1,250 penalty. The property has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, though many have been resolved. In 2023, several violations related to external low-pressure inspections were issued but ultimately dismissed.

Previous violations indicate concerns with elevator safety, plumbing, and building façade maintenance, particularly during inspections in 2018 through 2024. Despite these challenges, recent inspections for bedbugs and rodents in 2024 showed compliance, with no infestations reported in the past three years. The building's management has consistently addressed maintenance issues as they arise, with multiple permit applications for various repairs and improvements filed between 2019 and 2023, though some work appears to have been completed without proper permits, as noted in past violations regarding sidewalk shed installation.
