Augrented Insights Report for 569 West 159th Street

569 West 159th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Rooneyjr. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in early 2025. During this period, multiple complaints resulted in HPD violations, including issues with cabinets, electric/gas ranges, and heating/hot water systems.

Notable violations were documented in Apartment 1A in 2024 for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as visible mold conditions, while Apartments 3A and 4B faced hot water supply violations. The building experienced heating system failures in January 2025, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections consistently from 2014 through 2024, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five years.

While recent Housing Maintenance Code violations have been addressed, with most 2024 issues being closed through certification, some remain open as of the latest inspection dates. Egress-related complaints from 2021 were inspected but did not warrant violations, and multiple HPD inspections in 2025 resulted in either violations being issued or no housing law violations being observed. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily focused on heating systems, appliances, and water-related problems, particularly affecting the lower floors.
