Augrented Insights Report for 119 West 88th Street

119 West 88th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit converted Class A residential building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1898 and currently owned by Larry Tauber. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat/hot water outages, which have affected the entire building, most recently reported in January 2025, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

Notably, a significant mold violation was documented in November 2023 in Apartment 2B, which was previously inspected in May 2023. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple heat and water-related complaints between 2021 and 2025, along with violations of housing maintenance codes related to safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has faced challenges regarding illegal modifications, with open violations as of September 2024 related to an unauthorized duplex conversion in Apartment A, including issues with self-closing doors and pest infestations.

While the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2015 through 2024, it had a significant bedbug infestation event in 2020-2021 affecting all units, though subsequent years show no reported infestations. The building's history also includes several complaints about unauthorized commercial use of the residential space between 2019 and 2020, with varying inspection results. Recent inspections have generally passed, though there are multiple open violations as of 2024-2025 that require attention.
