Augrented Insights Report for 520 West 174th Street

Located in Washington Heights, 520 West 174th Street is a 5-story, 32-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Juan Noboa. The property has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, with the most pressing concern being an open complaint regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system as of June 2025, following a similar complaint from April 2025 that was closed due to inspection access issues.

During April 2025, several significant issues were documented including unsanitary conditions related to pests (with violations issued), and multiple maintenance concerns including door/window problems, water supply plumbing issues, and safety matters related to the fire escape, though inspections found some of these issues did not violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of pest-related problems, particularly in Apartment 3A, which received multiple violations in 2024 for pest infestations, including roaches and mice. The apartment also had multiple maintenance violations including security issues with doors, missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and various repair needs such as a defective wood door and damaged kitchen cabinet.

While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history (with no reported infestations in recent filings from 2019 through 2025), it has experienced fluctuations in rodent activity, with recent inspections in March and May 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections from 2018 through 2024 consistently passed. Additionally, there is an open Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection records. The building's history includes various maintenance issues from 2020-2025, including mold, flooring problems, and other unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were resolved through inspections and corrections by the management.
