Augrented Insights Report for 116 West 72nd Street

116 West 72nd Street is a 15-story, 70-unit residential building constructed in 1918, currently owned by Michael Wayne. The building has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, most notably multiple water leak complaints between 2022-2024, including both heavy flow and slow leaks. More recently, there have been concerns about heat and hot water service, with a building-wide complaint filed in March 2025. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2024 regarding a sidewalk shed that allegedly does not meet code specifications, with a $10,000 penalty imposed. Between 2020-2024, there were multiple violations related to failure to maintain proper documentation for high-pressure inspections, though these violations were subsequently dismissed after correction.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues, with several complaints spanning various systems including water supply, heating, and air quality. There have been periodic inspections addressing rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing compliance. Bedbug reports have been consistently filed since 2019, with the most recent filings (2024-2025) indicating zero infested units. Historical records from 2022 show multiple plumbing complaints affecting different fixtures (toilet, sink, bathtub/shower) that required intervention. The building's facade has been subject to scrutiny, with inspections in 2020-2024 noting issues with brick spalling and mortar degradation at the parapet walls, though these are reported as having been corrected.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, showing proactive management of pest control measures. Recent communication regarding violations, service requests, and inspections suggests ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges requiring attention, particularly regarding plumbing systems and building-wide services. While many historical violations have been closed and conditions corrected, the repeated nature of some service requests indicates potential persistent issues with building systems. The most recent bedbug filings indicate successful eradication efforts, with zero infested units reported since 2019. The property has also passed recent rodent inspections, though previous inspections in 2022 noted rat activity.
