Augrented Insights Report for 685 West End Avenue

Located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, 685 West End Avenue is a 16-story, 96-unit converted New Law tenement built in 1928, currently owned by Philliss Nappi. The building has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues in 2023, with multiple complaints regarding chemical vapors, gases, and odors between April and May, with the most recent complaint in May 2023. These incidents prompted interventions from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Between 2021 and 2024, the property underwent multiple tenant safety inspections, with no violations noted in inspections during 2024 and 2023. The building faced exterior maintenance issues in 2021, including cracked bricks on the 13th floor and damaged sealant joints on the penthouse masonry wall, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations related to inadequate repairs and failure to maintain building walls. The property has maintained a favorable pest control record with no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2018, and recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) consistently passed.

The building underwent significant renovation work between 2020 and 2024, with multiple construction-related permits issued for exterior work. While there were some issues regarding proper notification of tenant protection plans and construction rights during 2020, these violations were subsequently resolved. The most recent bedbug report from January 2025 confirmed zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspection from January 2025 passed. The building's management has generally responded to inspections and violations appropriately, though there have been some instances of work orders not being fully documented or corrected in a timely manner, as noted in 2021 violations.
