Augrented Insights Report for 536 West 158th Street

The 30-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 536 West 158th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Shaul Koplowitz, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent months (2024-2025). Most pressing are the recent safety concerns, including a broken window guard reported in May 2025 (deemed an emergency), multiple plumbing issues involving basins/sinks (April-May 2025), and an unsanitary mold condition reported in May 2025. The building has also seen some positive developments, with violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 33 being certified as corrected between December 2024 and February 2025, though there remain concerns about mold in bathroom areas of both apartments 33 and 34 observed during a December 2024 inspection.

The property's inspection history shows a mixed pattern of compliance, with some violations being promptly addressed while others persist. For instance, multiple violation notices were issued in May 2025 regarding window frames, and various plumbing issues, though some inspections conducted in the same period found no housing law violations. The building has maintained a stable record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports of infestations or eradications filed between 2019-2024.

Though there was one failed rodent inspection in September 2024, the most recent rodent compliance inspection in November 2024 passed. The property has undergone approximately eight rodent inspections since 2015, consistently passing most initial inspections, suggesting generally effective pest management practices. The building, constructed in 1925, has a documented history of various maintenance issues typical of older tenements, with the most recent violations focusing on plumbing, mold, and window safety concerns requiring attention.
