Augrented Insights Report for 508 West 166th Street

The 6-story building at 508 West 166th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Marc Edelstein and consisting of 64 units, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January 2024 and April 2025. These heating system problems appear to affect both individual apartments and the entire building, often resulting in failed access attempts during HPD inspections. The building has also faced several sanitary concerns, most notably in April 2025 when HPD issued violations related to garbage and recycling storage.

A significant infrastructure issue was documented in September 2024 with a heavy water leak, though no violations were issued following inspection. The building's maintenance record reveals three open violations as of October 2023 related to fire escape maintenance, specifically concerning rust conditions and required painting of the east, center, and west fire escapes. There is an active Department of Buildings violation from October 2023 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, and a June 2023 violation concerning unfiled pressure inspection records.

The property has a history of sidewalk shed maintenance issues, documented through multiple complaints and ECB violations in 2023-2024, with one such violation from April 2024 resulting in a $2,400 penalty. While there have been instances of illegal conversion complaints in 2023, these were ultimately resolved, and the building has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections conducted annually from 2015 to 2024. The property shows no recorded bedbug infestations since 2020, with the most recent inspections from 2023-2024 showing no current infestations.
