Augrented Insights Report for 640 West 153rd Street

640 West 153rd Street is a 6-story, 94-unit residential building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Goldberg. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, including multiple heat and hot water complaints, with several reports showing inspection access problems in 2025. More recently, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, specifically mold, with open violations as of June 2025.

The building's elevator system has been a significant concern, with active complaints in 2024-2025 regarding single-device operation with no alternate service, and environmental control board violations related to safety equipment and operational issues. An open water leak complaint was filed in June 2025, and previous issues included heavy water leaks and various plumbing problems. The building has faced persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance requirements, including multiple violations and complaints related to building facade maintenance, safety systems, and rodent activity.

Inspection records show continued presence of rat activity in 2025, though previous inspections have passed. The property has a documented history of mold issues, as evidenced by multiple violations and complaints, particularly in apartments B9A and B10. While there have been occasional bedbug reports (2020-2022) and an initial water leakage issue in late 2024, the primary ongoing concerns appear to be related to elevator service reliability, building systems maintenance (particularly heating), and interior mold conditions. The building's exterior facade has been cited for various maintenance issues over the years, with active violations from 2022-2024 regarding facade inspection requirements and spalling masonry.
