Augrented Insights Report for 515 West 158th Street

515 West 158th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Mei Siu in Washington Heights. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance and maintenance over the past several years, with the most pressing concerns being an unresolved issue regarding the annual bedbug report requirements (open violations from 2021 to 2024) and a significant 2023 violation regarding the removal of fireproofing material from the party wall shared with 517 West 158th Street, which was temporarily deemed unsafe for occupancy before being dismissed in July 2023.

The property has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2020 and 2021, though these were resolved after tenant reports of restoration. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues (most recently in 2023), safety concerns about fire escapes (2022), and unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (2022). There have been multiple reports regarding rodent issues, with past violations in 2020-2022, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 have passed.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 indicate problems with building walls and drainage systems, while various Department of Buildings complaints between 2019 and 2023 show concerns about construction work, wall conditions, and illegal hotel room usage. The building underwent several inspections that revealed various maintenance issues, but many were resolved either through corrections or inspections showing compliance, such as the passing results from recent rodent inspections. The property has maintained compliance with most health department inspections, though some historical complaints about mold and pests in 2020 were noted.
