Augrented Insights Report for 178 East 117th Street

178 East 117th Street is an 8-story, 22-unit residential building in East Harlem, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Andrew Palermo. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, particularly evident in 2024-2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed and violations issued. The most recent concerning resident health was a pest control complaint in May 2025, where HPD was unable to complete the inspection.

The building has shown consistent maintenance of basic safety standards, with all rodent inspections passed from 2018 through 2025, and regular bedbug reporting since 2019 indicating minimal infestation history (only one case in 2019, with successful eradication). In terms of building infrastructure, several violations have been documented regarding individual apartment systems, including broken or defective cabinets (December 2024, 4C), HVAC issues (2024), and heater unit problems (2022, 3A). The property has active violations related to energy benchmarking reporting from 2022-2024, though previous similar violations were dismissed in 2022.

The building's exterior maintenance appears to have been adequately addressed, with no violations documented in recent years and past ECB violations regarding exterior wall examinations properly resolved. Certificate of occupancy-related complaints from 2018-2019 were closed without violations being found. The regularity of 311 complaints suggests ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, though most complaints are promptly addressed through HPD inspections, with some requiring follow-up requests for re-inspection.
