Augrented Insights Report for 549 West 163rd Street

549 West 163rd Street is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Yesenia Reyes. The building has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water services in 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD-311, though access for inspections was often not granted. There are currently three active violations from 2024 in Apartment 4E related to water damage, mold, and plaster repair in the bathroom, along with one open violation from March 2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements.

The building has experienced recurring elevator service issues, with complaints logged in 2018, 2021, and 2024, and currently has an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 regarding a defective door restrictor with a penalty of $6,250. The property has multiple active DOB violations regarding failure to file annual energy benchmarking reports and maintain appropriate elevator service. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with passed inspections in 2023-2024 but reports of rat activity in December 2023.

Historical issues include an infestation of cockroaches in May 2023 and various heating system problems in 2024-2025. The building's management has struggled to maintain consistent responses to both emergency and routine maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple service request closures without proper resolution verification. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, such as fixing bathroom problems in 2024, many violations remain open or have recurred, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
