Augrented Insights Report for 459 West 153rd Street

459 West 153rd Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1884 and currently owned by Ezer Gonzales. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues, particularly evident through multiple complaints from 2022 through early 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water. Ten separate heat/hot water complaints were filed in 2022 alone, with several resulting in HPD issuing violations.

The boiler system appears to be a significant concern, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints noting defective or inoperative conditions, and three active ECB violations from 2024 and 2022 related to the Peerless JOT-7 boiler's operability and safety features, with penalties totaling $18,750. The building's maintenance history reveals several other compliance issues, including open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 to 2024, and multiple violations related to heat and hot water provision. A notable issue in September 2022 involved both a building-wide hot water failure and a leaky oil tank in the heating plant, which received a Class C violation.

More recently, there have been ongoing concerns about low pressure inspection filings, with five active DOB violations issued between 2023 and 2024 for failure to submit required documentation. Despite these issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2020, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing compliance. While the property has maintained basic safety standards, the recurring heating system problems and outstanding violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
