Augrented Insights Report for 507 West 158th Street

507 West 158th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Michael Rooney Jr. The building has experienced consistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, though inspections often found no violations. Multiple residential units have received Housing Maintenance Code violations, including open Class A violations in 2024 for missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3A, and a Class C violation for a defective self-closing door in the vestibule.

Recent inspections also revealed plumbing issues, with violations in December 2024, and there is an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding improperly installed scaffolding. The building has a documented history of egress-related concerns, with violations in 2021 regarding blocked rear exits, and previous complaints about locked emergency exits. Infrastructure issues have been noted, including a roof leak affecting the 5th-story stair bulkhead.

While the building has maintained good rodent control overall, with multiple passed inspections from 2018 through 2024, there was one instance of rat activity in 2022. Interestingly, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in official filings from 2019 through 2024. Two recent environmental violations from 2024 regarding scaffolding installation remain active with associated penalties, and there are open violations for missing safety equipment in Apartment 3A. The building's heating system has been particularly problematic, with repeated emergency complaints about heat and hot water despite multiple inspections finding no specific violations.
