Augrented Insights Report for 536 West 156th Street

This three-story, six-unit residential building located at 536 West 156th Street in Washington Heights was built in 1901 and is currently owned by Derrick Oates. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the past two years, with the most recent complaints in late 2024 involving heat and hot water problems. Notable incidents in 2024 include multiple violations issued in October for Apartment 3 related to unsanitary conditions (mold and pests), structural issues (walls and flooring), and concerns about lead-based paint hazards.

The building has a history of water-related issues, with several water leak complaints documented between 2021 and 2023, including heavy flow leaks in December 2023. Heating system problems have been persistent, with complaints recorded in 2019, 2021, and most recently in December 2024. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2017 and 2024, with all inspections passing, indicating successful pest control measures.

While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, several violations remain open as of October 2024, particularly regarding lead paint and mold remediation in Apartment 3. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of older buildings, including issues with hot water, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions, with the most pressing current concerns focused on lead paint hazards, mold, and pest control in Apartment 3. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required to address both urgent and long-standing building maintenance issues, particularly those affecting resident safety and comfort.
