Augrented Insights Report for 516 West 158th Street

At 516 West 158th Street, a 47-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Maria Reyes, recent records from 2024-2025 reveal persistent issues with heat and hot water systems. The building experienced multiple emergency complaints regarding temperature control, particularly notable in March 2024 when ten separate complaints were logged, though some were duplicates or concerned inaccessible units. A more recent heat/hot water complaint was recorded in December 2024, but HPD was again unable to access units for inspection.

The building also has an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and two bedbug-related violations from 2022-2023 remain open. The property has history with its elevator system, having received multiple complaints between 2019-2023 regarding single device service and no alternate service, with a 2020 violation regarding door lock monitoring still showing as active. Several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations concern administrative issues such as failure to file energy benchmarking reports and inspection certifications between 2019-2024.

Building maintenance records show consistent rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections from 2014 to present passing. Various maintenance issues have been documented and addressed over the years, including self-closing door repairs in early 2024. While the building has maintained a passing record for rodent inspections, the recurring nature of heat and water complaints, along with multiple active violations regarding energy compliance, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect basic utility systems.
