Augrented Insights Report for 501 West 173rd Street

At 501 West 173rd Street in Washington Heights, the 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1911 has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. Most notably, between February and June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, along with concerning patterns of unresponsive inspections by HPD.

There are also recent documented problems with water supply, electrical/gas ranges, ceiling conditions, and plumbing, with HPD repeatedly indicating difficulties gaining access for inspections. The building has three active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2023, including defective masonry coping at the 5th story, though several other violations from June 2023 related to Apartment 11 have been closed following repairs. Recent emergency maintenance issues have been documented through multiple reports in June 2025, including problems with water leaks (heavy flow and damp spots), ceiling plastering, window panes, and unsanitary conditions involving pests.

The building's rodent inspection history shows past rat activity in 2022, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations or eradications from 2019 through 2024. While the property has been managed by owner Mariel Arismendy, the recent pattern of inspection access issues and recurring maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
