Augrented Insights Report for 526 West 152nd Street

The 6-story, 1950-built residential building at 526 West 152nd Street in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Douglas Blomberg, has been experiencing significant maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing problems including issues with sinks and bathtubs, and heating systems. Previous complaints from March 2025 regarding heat and hot water were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has also faced pest problems, with open complaints as of December 2024 regarding both pests and unsanitary conditions, and violations for mice infestation in apartment 3A from mid-2024, previously affecting apartments 5D and 6A in 2020-2022. The property has a concerning history of infrastructure problems, including multiple boiler-related complaints and violations. Between 2020-2023, there were recurring issues with the elevator system, boiler problems triggering Oath violations, and shaky building conditions reported through complaints.

Environmental Control Board violations show ongoing concerns with the boiler system, including improper registration and defective components, with significant penalties imposed. Bedbug and rodent control records indicate periodic infestations, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent plumbing, heating, and infestation issues that – while some have been addressed – continue to affect tenant comfort and safety with multiple open complaints as of 2025.
