Augrented Insights Report for 353 West 117th Street

353 West 117th Street is a 6-story, 36-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Desiree Dismore. The building has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues, particularly concerning sanitation and pest control. There are multiple open complaints from June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, along with numerous documented rat sightings throughout 2024 and into 2025, including recent inspections in July 2025 confirming rat activity.

The building has a history of various maintenance problems, including open housing maintenance code complaints from December 2024 regarding ceiling issues, and previous issues with mold and wall conditions in late 2024. The building has undergone several inspections and faced numerous violations over the years. Significant violations include a 2024 boiler issue with leaking sections and defective components that carries an active penalty of $625, along with multiple violations in 2018 for unlawfully continuing work while under a stop work order, resulting in penalties totaling $10,000 (now resolved).

Housing maintenance code violations from 2018-2019 indicate various problems in Apartments 2C, 3F, and 4F, including issues with doors, windows, smoke detectors, plumbing, and plaster surfaces. The building's history also shows consistent rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 confirming ongoing infestation issues. However, the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, suggesting effective pest management in this area. While some past violations have been resolved, including water supply and window issues from 2019 and various housing maintenance code violations from 2024, many current complaints remain open, requiring ongoing attention to basic maintenance and sanitation standards.
