Augrented Insights Report for 161 Manhattan Avenue

161 Manhattan Avenue is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1929 and currently owned by Rick Baez. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2024-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including a notable total building outage in July 2024 that resulted in violations. The property is currently facing several open violations from an August 2024 inspection of Apartment 3D, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and mold formation in the bathroom.

Additional maintenance challenges have been documented through various complaints, including flooring issues (January 2025), wall problems (December 2024), and pest concerns, with an electrical power outage incident in February 2024 also reported. The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven annual filings from 2018-2025, though there was one verified case in 2017-2018. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with a failed inspection in October 2023 and a subsequent pass in July 2024.

The property has open Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file the FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report by the February 2019 deadline, and a penalty was imposed in 2020 for not submitting a required cycle 8C report regarding exterior wall conditions. Historical records from 2018-2020 indicate occasional compliance issues, including a failure to maintain standards noted in a December 2019 complaint. While the building's energy and water systems have shown recurring problems, other building systems such as plumbing, structural integrity, and security appear to have fewer documented issues based on available records.
