Augrented Insights Report for 502 West 173rd Street

The five-story, 20-unit residential building at 502 West 173rd Street in Washington Heights, owned by Victor Araujo, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant being persistent water leak problems. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heavy water leaks, particularly affecting apartments 3A, 3B, and 3C, along with issues of mold, unsanitary conditions, and various plumbing problems.

In April 2024, violations were documented regarding plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower, while the building has also faced challenges with flooring problems, paint/plaster issues, and cabinet repairs. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has issued several emergency violations that required correction, particularly focusing on broken floor tiles, defective wood floors, and water damage in multiple units. The building, constructed in 1945 and classified as a "New Law Tenement," has maintained compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations over the past several years and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024.

The most recent bedbug reporting period showed zero infested units, continuing a trend of infestation-free status dating back to at least 2019. While there were some complaints regarding floor, wall, and cabinet conditions reported in 2025, these were marked as non-emergency. Historical complaints from 2018 regarding sidewalk shed and permit issues were determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.
