Augrented Insights Report for 555 West 171st Street

The five-story, 21-unit tenement building at 555 West 171st Street in Washington Heights has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with eight documented complaints between October 2023 and January 2025, all involving the entire building. In particular, the complaints from January 2025, October 2024, March 2024, February 2024, and November 2023 were all closed due to HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including pest issues noted in late 2023 and early 2023, though no violations were issued following the 2023 inspections. A significant concern was identified in late 2023 regarding fire escape access, with violations issued for air conditioning units obstructing egress from fire escapes on the second floor. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple active violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018 and 2020, as well as a 2019 violation for failing to file the annual boiler inspection report.

While the building appears to have passed numerous rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, there have been periodic bed bug infestations reported, with the most recent filings in 2024 indicating successful eradication of affected units. Notable maintenance work included repairs to address roof leaks and fire retardant materials in 2023. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, consistently passing between 2015 and 2024, with only one failure recorded in 2017.
