Augrented Insights Report for 181 West 97th Street

181 West 97th Street is a 16-story, 140-unit residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by Michael Goldstein. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably an ongoing investigation into construction lead dust in common areas as of June 2025, and persistent pest problems, with multiple rodent activity reports and rat control measures documented throughout 2024-2025.

There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a recent one from November 2024, though some have been resolved quickly. The building has faced various unsanitary conditions, including mold issues in 2024-2025, and problems with building systems such as elevators and boilers appear to be recurring themes, with violations and complaints documented in 2020 and more recently. Significant renovations and repairs have been documented through various permits issued between 2018 and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance work is being performed.

The building has also experienced several regulatory violations, though many related to boiler inspections and annual report filings have been dismissed. Inspection records show the Department of Buildings has conducted multiple inspections, with citations issued for various maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 3G regarding mold, ventilation, and water connection problems as of July 2024. While the building has had previous bedbug infestations (reported in 2019), recent reports from 2022-2024 show zero infestation cases.
