Augrented Insights Report for 473 West 158th Street

The 89-unit, 6-story tenement building at 473 West 158th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years under the ownership of Massud Rahbar. Of particular concern are recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and April 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water in the entire building, leading to violations being issued. More recent issues include unsanitary conditions involving sewage (May 2025), chemical odors (May 2025), and a current smoking complaint (May 2025). The building has also faced significant elevator safety concerns, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service throughout 2022-2025, resulting in violation notices.

Recent inspection records from December 2024 show several open violations in Apartments 51 and 70, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and hot water systems. Although the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2024), the pest control history shows three documented bedbug infestations (2021-2023) with successful eradications. The building's maintenance record reveals persistent water-related issues, including both heavy flow and slower leaks documented in 2025. Safety-related violations such as defective fire doors and self-closing doors in the compactor area (November 2024) and the lack of proper tenant protection plan notices (March 2024) have also been documented.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations related to inspection requirements and safety features between 2019 and 2024, including failure to install mandated door lock monitoring equipment. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections for various issues, including the need for repairs to bathroom tiles (Apartment 21, December 2024) and problems with the building's overall heat and hot water systems. While some violations have been resolved, many remain open or active, particularly those related to elevator safety, building systems, and life safety equipment. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and safety requirements, though recent inspections have shown some improvements in rodent management and other areas.
