Augrented Insights Report for 20 West 72nd Street

As of July 2025, 20 West 72nd Street is a 15-story, 128-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Jason Krantz. The property is experiencing multiple ongoing issues, with three active complaints filed in 2025 related to food poisoning, and several open maintenance issues reported in February 2025, including problems with an electric/gas range, plumbing (basin/sink), and wall conditions (paint/plaster). Apartment 603 has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024, including issues with water leaks, wall conditions, and various repairs needed to address building code requirements.

The building has undergone several inspections and maintenance checks between 2020-2025, revealing various historical concerns including elevator maintenance issues, gas utility problems, and construction-related violations. Recent records show ongoing rodent control efforts, with bait applications occurring throughout 2024. The building has maintained a relatively clean bedbug history since 2020, with the most recent inspections showing no reported infestations.

The property has experienced multiple construction-related complaints and violations between 2019-2021, including issues with construction safety compliance and unauthorized work. The Department of Buildings violations from 2023 indicate a failure to file required benchmarking reports, though this was later dismissed. While some historical violations have been resolved, including several from 2018-2019 related to building systems and elevator maintenance, the persistence of recent complaints and open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
