Augrented Insights Report for 536 West 153rd Street

The 5-story, 25-unit building at 536 West 153rd Street, owned by Donna Dodge, is a 1920 Hamilton Heights property currently experiencing significant maintenance issues as of 2025. There are open plumbing complaints filed in January 2025 regarding both toilets and water supply, including an emergency plumbing complaint that remains unresolved.

The building has a documented pattern of heating and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2024, some requiring emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). A notable cluster of violations was issued in 2024 regarding Apartment 1E, including lead paint hazards, fire egress issues, and requirements for various wall treatments, though many of these violations have been certified as corrected. The building has also faced elevator service issues, with complaints filed in 2018-2021 about the single device and lack of alternate service, though inspections generally found no violations or required corrections.

More recently, rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple inspections between 2023-2025 confirming rat activity and requiring bait application. The property's bedbug history appears clear, with no infestations reported in the last six years through 2025. While the building has maintained some degree of regulatory compliance by addressing various violations and completing required certifications, the current open plumbing issues and ongoing heating system concerns suggest continuing challenges with basic maintenance and resident comfort.
