Augrented Insights Report for 226 West 79th Street

226 West 79th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1894 and currently owned by John Adams. The building has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past year, with eight separate heat and hot water complaints reported between November 2024 and February 2025, all affecting the entire building.

While Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, access issues have prevented complete inspections in most cases. The property has several active housing maintenance code violations from recent inspections, including issues with self-closing doors at the basement level and other building entrance concerns documented between April and December 2024. Multiple violations regarding building structure and maintenance have been recorded, including problems with the masonry and brickwork at various locations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 regarding the building's brick planter maintainence remain active, though the bedbug inspection record from 2023 shows no infestation during the specified period. Recent rodent inspections between May and September 2024 indicate persistent rat activity, with multiple bait applications documented. The building also has outstanding Department of Buildings violations regarding required external low-pressure inspections from 2022-2024 that remain unresolved as of October 2024.
