Augrented Insights Report for 504 West 157th Street

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 504 West 157th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ruben Gomez, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections from 2024 through 2025 confirming rat activity, despite bait applications in mid-2024.

The building has also faced recurring security and access issues, with three separate complaints about door and intercom problems in late 2024, resulting in multiple housing violations related to building entrance security systems. Recent maintenance concerns include a heat and hot water emergency reported in May 2025, and various building system failures documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. These include problems with water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and plumbing concerns earlier in 2024.

The building has several open housing maintenance code violations as of late 2024, including issues with an intercom system, door locks, and rodent infestation, along with a requirement to file an annual bedbug report. Historical records show a defective boiler issue in 2022 and a construction-related complaint in 2019. Additionally, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 and 2022 related to boiler and backflow system maintenance, with associated penalties totaling $9,375.
