Augrented Insights Report for 201 West 88th Street

201 West 88th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Steven Polivy. The building has experienced ongoing rodent-related issues, with several inspections between 2022 and 2024 showing "Rat Activity," though recent inspections in late 2024 passed without violations. The property has a history of pest problems, including multiple complaints regarding pigeons in 2021, which resulted in health department inspections.

While some of these complaints resulted in violations, others were closed without finding violations. The building has also faced challenges with fire safety and building maintenance requirements, as evidenced by various Housing Maintenance Code Violations in 2021, including issues with fire escape egress being blocked by flower pots, though many of these violations were ultimately closed. Compliance issues were also noted regarding proper signage for building management and heating system information.

Recent inspections have shown no active pest infestations, including bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 indicating zero affected units in each reporting period. Two complaints made to the Department of Buildings in 2020 and 2025 regarding vent/exhaust issues were found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building has undergone various permitted work, with records showing multiple emergency work permits issued between 2019 and 2021.
