Augrented Insights Report for 153 Amsterdam Avenue

The 153 Amsterdam Avenue property is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Richard Scarf. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance and health-related issues over the past three years, with the most recent being a food establishment-related complaint regarding pets/animals (June 2025) and unresolved food poisoning complaints (ongoing since May 2024). There have been multiple health department interventions regarding unsanitary conditions, including a significant pigeon waste issue (January 2025) and two food establishment violations in 2024.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including heat and hot water concerns affecting the entire building (January 2025), pest infestations (September 2023), and multiple violations related to garbage/recycling storage and sewage conditions (spring 2023). Recent violations from April 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in Apartment 15, which has open violations related to water leaks and door repair requirements. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results in early 2025 showing compliance issues.

Building systems have been addressed through various permits, with the most recent permits issued in 2022-2023 covering plumbing and electrical work. The building's safety systems have been monitored, with violations noted in 2023 regarding smoke detector requirements and superintendent signage, though these were later resolved. Historical data shows earlier issues with electrical wiring (2019) and structural stability concerns (2019, 2024), though inspections determined no violations at the time. The landlord has filed regular bedbug reports from 2019-2024 showing no confirmed infestations during these periods, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2018, with the most recent passing inspection in June 2025.
