Augrented Insights Report for 127 West 96th Street

127 West 96th Street is a 17-story New Law Tenement building in the Upper West Side, containing 140 units and constructed in 1930, currently owned by Phillis Nappi. The building has experienced recurring heating and water issues, with the most recent incident reported in October 2022 affecting the entire building. Window-related problems were documented in mid-2019, with violations noted regarding window frame maintenance in Apartment 12H.

The building has undergone various construction and maintenance activities, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2024 for exterior work, equipment upgrades, and emergency repairs. Significant safety concerns have emerged during the building's recent history, including an active violation from March 2024 regarding improper sprinkler system installation in the laundry room, which was cited for not being connected to the dedicated fire line and for having blocked coverage. There were also several construction safety violations in 2021-2024, including issues with scaffold usage and worker safety protocols.

The building has experienced intermittent bedbug infestations, with one documented case in late 2022 and another in late 2019, though recent filings (2023-2025) show zero infestations. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 confirming compliance. The property had multiple immediately hazardous violations related to construction work between 2019-2024, though many were subsequently resolved or dismissed. Inspection records show regular monitoring, with most recent inspections confirming general compliance with health and safety standards.
