Augrented Insights Report for 561 West 169th Street

The 5-story, 19-unit tenement building at 561 West 169th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Constantina Katechis and constructed in 1922, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025 regarding the entire building's heating system. The building has also faced several significant safety concerns, including an active violation from November 2024 regarding obstructed exit passageways and multiple violations related to inadequate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 4C and 4D, as well as problems with window safety and rodent infestations.

The property has documented four emergency heat/hot water complaints within three months leading up to March 2025, and various maintenance issues including water leaks, mold, and problems with wall and ceiling conditions. Apartment 4D has multiple open violations from October 2024 concerning window repairs, smoke detector issues, and plumbing problems. The building's boiler system has been a persistent source of complaints and violations, with records showing defective or inoperative conditions in 2021 and 2024, along with associated Environmental Control Board violations.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there have been previous instances of rodent activity documented in 2020. The property management has faced scrutiny regarding egress safety, with violations issued in both 2023 and 2024 for locked or obstructed exits. Legal notices from the Department of Buildings indicate unresolved issues as of 2023, including a failure to file required inspection documentation, and there are multiple active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024 related to various safety and maintenance issues, each carrying significant penalties.
