Augrented Insights Report for 225 West 70th Street

225 West 70th Street is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1968, currently owned by Marsha Kolker. The building has experienced recurring issues with egress safety, most recently evidenced by a violation in August 2023 regarding blocked exit pathways, with previous similar violations in 2020, and a finding in 2023-2024 involving a partially obstructed exit due to garbage and debris. There was also a concerning pattern of sanitation issues in late 2020 involving garbage/recycling storage complaints, and a brief heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building during the same period.

The building's safety systems have been under scrutiny, with violations related to exit access and fire escape maintenance, though recent inspections have shown compliance with rodent control requirements. The property has maintained a record of addressing bedbug issues appropriately, with no reported infestations in the past several years as per the mandatory reporting requirements, showing proper documentation of eradication efforts. Historical records from the 1980s show past concerns with heating system controls and masonry repairs, but these issues appear to have been resolved.

More recently, there are active violations from June 2023 regarding unfiled external low-pressure inspection documentation, and periodic problems with exit passageway maintenance and garbage storage have been documented through both 311 calls and Environmental Control Board violations. Regular rodent inspections have consistently shown passing results since 2015. The building has undergone various inspections and received notices related to safety compliance, with the most recent tenant safety inspection occurring in May 2025 showing compliance.
