Augrented Insights Report for 120 West 79th Street

The Ennismore Apartments at 120 West 79th Street, built in 1926, is a 16-story New Law Tenement building containing 64 units, currently owned by Morris Schreiber. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most pressing current concern being an active elevator service complaint filed in April 2025. Notable recent incidents include a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in December 2020, and multiple pest-related issues in 2018-2019, particularly affecting apartment 2C, which required official violations for rodent and roach infestations.

The building's safety measures have also come under scrutiny, with an Environmental Control Board violation in 2018 regarding disabled elevator restrictors and a 2021 violation concerning the failure to file a required tenant protection plan. Despite these challenges, the building has shown improvements in certain areas. There have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, and recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2024 have all passed. The building's maintenance records show regular permit issuance for various maintenance and renovation work, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for plumbing, electrical, and other general maintenance purposes.

The Department of Buildings has conducted several tenant safety inspections in 2021, yielding no violations at the time of inspection, though previous inspections in 2019 had identified some issues with plaster surfaces and electrical outlets that were subsequently resolved. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing major issues as they arise, with most violations being closed out or resolved through official inspection and correction processes. The building's management has generally complied with rodent control requirements, as evidenced by passed inspections and regular reporting. While there have been significant maintenance issues over the years, particularly related to pests and building systems, the property has demonstrated ongoing efforts to maintain compliance with safety and housing standards.
