Augrented Insights Report for 256 West 73rd Street

256 West 73rd Street is a four-story, 10-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1888 and managed by owner Larry Tauber. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025), with the most pressing concerns being related to unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of mold (2023-2024), pests (2023), and garbage/recycling storage problems (2023). A heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported in February 2023, though residents indicated the issue was resolved prior to inspection.

Notable safety concerns were documented, including a fire escape violation (2023) and issues with self-closing doors in apartments 4 and 10 (2023), with some violations remaining open as of the most recent inspections. The building has an active history of service requests, with the latest being a rodent sighting in July 2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection. Rodent inspections conducted regularly between 2015 and 2024 have consistently resulted in passing grades.

The property has generated multiple complaints about unauthorized work, with five "Work Without a Permit" complaints between 2022-2025, though no violations were found upon inspection. A concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions is evident from the numerous HPD complaints and violations, including issues with ventilation systems, water leaks, and various maintenance needs related to paint/plaster and ceiling conditions. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations as reported in the annual filing process from 2021 to 2025.
