Augrented Insights Report for 509 West 155th Street

The 6-story, 54-unit building at 509 West 155th Street in Washington Heights, owned by 509 Realty Co LLC and constructed in 1922, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an active complaint regarding single elevator service with no alternate, dating from March 2025, following multiple similar complaints throughout 2024 that resulted in Oath violations and fines related to worn cables and door lock monitoring issues.

There are also ongoing plumbing concerns, with multiple emergency repairs required for water supply, sink, bathtub/shower, and slow leaks between 2025 and 2024, though some HPD inspections were unable to be completed. The building has demonstrated recurring maintenance issues within individual apartments, particularly in Units 1B and 1I, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024. These included problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, plaster surfaces, and window mechanics.

The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations from 2018-2024, though the most recent report (2024-2025) shows no current infested units. While rodent inspections have passed in 2023 and 2024, earlier inspections (2021-2022) indicated rat activity. The building's maintenance record shows consistent patterns of reporting and resolution attempts, with many issues requiring multiple service requests and inspections before resolution.
