Augrented Insights Report for 307 West 79th Street

307 West 79th Street is an 11-story, New Law Single Room Occupancy building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Michael Edelstein. The property has faced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaint as of February 2025 remaining unresolved. The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints over the past six years, affecting both individual apartments and entire building systems, with several instances requiring HPD intervention and confirmations of temporary restorations.

Recent structural concerns have emerged, with active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 citing maintenance issues including damaged water tables, cracked window sills, and facade problems on multiple building exposures. The building has undergone facade restoration work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances and sidewalk shed complaints between 2023-2025. There were several inspections and violations related to the sidewalk shed's condition and compliance, with most recent issues regarding an expired permit from June 2024 resulting in a $625 fine.

The property has maintained good rodent control compliance, passing inspections every year from 2015 to 2024. Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2025), with only one instance of three units affected in 2018. While the building underwent various improvements evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2024, proper maintenance of building systems, particularly heating, appears to be an ongoing challenge based on recent complaint patterns.
