Augrented Insights Report for 72 West 88th Street

72 West 88th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side and owned by David Arias. The 1892 building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent problems emerging in February 2025, including multiple open complaints related to water leaks (heavy flow and damp spots), mold, and ceiling paint/plaster issues.

These recent complaints followed a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges, including previous open issues with water-related problems, and historical pest infestations in 2022 that were not fully resolved upon inspection. The building has documented several significant structural and safety concerns over the past few years, most notably in 2021-2022, when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding facade maintenance, including problems with cracked brickwork, spalling terra cotta, and decorative cornice issues. These violations resulted in penalties totaling over $4,000, though records indicate they were resolved.

The building also faced issues with safety systems, including violations for inoperative smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in December 2022, and a key-operated lock on a fire escape in May 2023. A notable complaint in 2021 regarding building shaking/vibration was investigated, and more recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicated ongoing pest control challenges, despite previous inspections showing compliance. The building maintains a record of no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years.
