Augrented Insights Report for 166 West 72nd Street

The 12-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building at 166 West 72nd Street, owned by Jane Goldman, has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past year, with the most recent complaint being an open water leak/damp spot reported in February 2025. Notably, there have been multiple complaints about mold, water leaks, and plumbing issues between 2024 and 2025, including a documented slow water leak in August 2024 that resulted in violations.

The building has undergone several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some violations being resolved through repairs and others being dismissed as not violating housing laws. The building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, including active violations for FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) reporting requirements from 2018-2024 and an active ECB violation from August 2023 regarding unpermitted work on the roof/penthouse area.

Recent inspections have documented various maintenance needs, particularly during 2024, when violations were issued for ceiling repairs, painting requirements, and other maintenance work primarily focused on the 12th-story bulkhead area. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024 and maintained a bedbug-free record, the ongoing water-related issues and multiple violation cycles suggest persistent maintenance challenges. Recent maintenance history shows a mix of addressed violations and ongoing issues, with the most pressing concerns currently appearing to be related to water damage and moisture control, as evidenced by the recent complaints and historical pattern of water-related issues.
