Augrented Insights Report for 154 West 27th Street

154 West 27th Street, a 7-story, 12-unit commercial building converted to Class A residential use in 1910, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges under owner Yitzchak Shwartz, particularly regarding elevator and sanitation issues. The building has a notable history of elevator problems, with multiple reports of "Out of Service" conditions and mechanical deficiencies leading to active ECB violations from 2023-2024, for which penalties totaling $7,812.50 are currently due. Recent inspections have revealed rat activity as recently as October 2024, with multiple rodent complaints and sightings throughout 2024-2025.

The property has also faced several sanitation concerns, particularly in mid-2024, with multiple HPD complaints about garbage storage and pest issues, though some inspection attempts were hampered by lack of access to units. Apartment 5E has documented violations from 2024, including issues with window sashes, carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and bathroom infrastructure, while unit 6E has pending violations related to a vanity cabinet and floor conditions. The building's maintenance record shows a consistent pattern of unresolved or recurring issues, with several complaints requiring multiple complaints to prompt inspection. Notable recent complaints include heat/hot water issues (October 2024), unsanitary conditions, and rodent problems.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from 2019-2024. Two significant legal matters were raised in 2024 regarding potential illegal conversion to dwelling units, though these were dismissed upon inspection. While some older violations have been resolved, including those from 2019-2020, several active violations exist as of mid-2025, including failure to file required FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reports and confirmed rat activity. The building's regulatory history suggests ongoing challenges with timely maintenance responses and inspection access, as indicated by multiple inspection failures due to tenant access issues.
