Augrented Insights Report for 228 West 71st Street

228 West 71st Street is a 15-story, 169-unit residential building located in New York's Upper West Side, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Wayne Ngai. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around gas range appliances and heating systems. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heating systems, including three emergency complaints in January, though HPD inspections found no violations. More recently, there have been issues with cooking gas and electric/gas range appliances in June 2025, with one complaint still open as of July 2025.

The building has documented a total of three bedbug incidents between 2022-2024, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing one infested unit that was treated and eradicated. Recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly boilers and elevators. There are active violations from 2024-2025 related to unregistered boilers and failure to file required inspections, including issues with multiple boiler violations documented in 2024 for oil leaks, safety valve problems, and missing components. Elevator problems have also been noted, with multiple complaints between 2019-2024 resulting in Oath Violations being served.

While the building has passed regular rodent inspections from 2015-2024, there were periods of pest control issues, as evidenced by housing code violations related to pests in 2025. The property has experienced challenges with access for inspections, particularly regarding heat/hot water complaints in January 2025 and plumbing issues in September 2024, where HPD was unable to gain entry for inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of both routine and emergency maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, elevators, and appliance problems. Despite some violations being resolved, including elevator safety issues and various boiler problems, there remain active violations as of 2024-2025 that require attention. The building's age and size are typical for the Upper West Side, but the frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance procedures.
