Augrented Insights Report for 570 West 156th Street

570 West 156th Street is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Ramon Tapia. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints and violations, particularly regarding plumbing systems, including unresolved radiator and sink problems, and newly reported wall paint issues. An inspection in October 2024 revealed several notable violations, including an illegal Class A apartment conversion in the cellar (Apartment B2) involving unauthorized living spaces and gas cooking facilities, and a mold condition in Apartment 29.

The building has a documented history of elevator issues, with multiple complaints from 2018-2024 about single-device service without alternatives, and more recently, electrical wiring concerns. The property has faced recurring plumbing and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2025. Recent inspections have documented various infrastructure problems, including flooring issues and window frame concerns. While the building has maintained a generally pest-free record, with no bedbug reports since 2019, there have been periods of rodent activity requiring monitoring and baiting between 2022-2024, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 showed passing results.

The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, warranting attention to the pattern of recurring plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly in the context of the multiple open complaints and violations as of mid-2025. The 2025 data shows 311 service requests across various maintenance issues including plumbing, windows, walls, and flooring, with violations issued for several plumbing-related complaints. Multiple open Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 regarding paint/plaster issues and plumbing problems further highlight ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also experienced illegal conversion issues, with open violations as of 2024 regarding unauthorized living spaces, though some older violations have been resolved or dismissed through subsequent inspections.
