Augrented Insights Report for 546 West 156th Street

546 West 156th Street is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Ernest Harris. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints between 2020 and 2022, though records indicate these were generally resolved promptly, with heat and hot water being restored according to tenant reports.

More recently, in November 2024, there was a plumbing-related water supply issue that HPD could not inspect upon initial response. The building is currently facing several housing maintenance code violations identified in October 2024, including issues with window guards and fire escape access (Class C violations) in apartments 4, 7, and 23, though many other violations from the same inspection regarding painting requirements and safety devices have been certified as corrected.

The property has maintained a clean pest control record, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2020-2025) and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2015 through September 2024. Historical maintenance records show some consistency in response to tenant complaints, particularly regarding heating issues, though access for inspections was occasionally denied. The building's recent housing maintenance code violations, primarily related to safety features and building systems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many previous violations have been addressed and closed.
