Augrented Insights Report for 164 West 81st Street

164 West 81st Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1883 and currently owned by Neal Altman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints in late 2018 and early 2019 indicating problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

More recently, the property has been cited for failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, resulting in open Class A violations. The building underwent construction work in 2020-2021 that generated multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including issues with scaffolding, jobsite safety, and earthwork notifications, though most of these violations were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained generally good rodent control compliance in recent years, with initial inspections from 2019 through 2025 showing varying levels of rodent activity, including some bait applications in 2019 and "passed" results in recent inspections.

The building's permit history shows multiple issued permits between 2020 and 2022 for exterior work, equipment installation, and alteration work. Notably, there was an environmental control board violation in 2021 regarding the lack of design drawings for a temporary working platform, which carried a $625 penalty. The most recent inspection records indicate consistent rodent inspection compliance, with the last three inspections in 2022-2025 showing no evidence of rodent activity, suggesting improved pest management practices.
