Augrented Insights Report for 226 West 97th Street

226 West 97th Street is an 8-story, 34-unit New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Nathan Benelyahou and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, particularly evident between October and December 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding these essential services affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recent concerns include plumbing issues with water supply in May 2025, and a heavy water leak incident in November 2023, though these were addressed relatively quickly by HPD.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with violations recorded in September 2023 for pest issues in Apartment 2B, and rodent problems in Apartment 7A identified in October 2022. Violation notices from September 2023 indicate ongoing requirements for maintenance of self-closing doors at the building's first-story entrance and vestibule. The property has maintained an active record of compliance and inspection, with various permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for maintenance work.

Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have shown passing results for rodent inspections, though earlier years recorded rat activity. The building has demonstrated consistent attention to bedbug prevention, with no infestations reported in the last five annual filings. While there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding essential services and safety features, many have been addressed promptly or are currently under review. The building has also undergone regular Department of Buildings inspections, with some historical violations being resolved, such as a 2019 FISP Cycle 8B Technical Report filing issue that was ultimately dismissed.
