Augrented Insights Report for 503 West 176th Street

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 503 West 176th Street, owned by Herman Rubin and constructed in 1907, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an open water leak complaint as of December 2024 involving heavy flow conditions. The building has faced recurring unsanitary conditions, particularly mold problems in 2024 and 2022-2023, and there was a notable heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in November 2023.

Multiple violations were issued in mid-2024, including fire damage in apartments 12 and 16, and flooring issues in apartment 8, though some violations related to plaster work and paint in various units were subsequently closed. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with violations for rat activity in 2022 and previous rodent inspections showing compliance since 2022, as well as a consistent zero report for bedbugs from 2019-2024. The building's infrastructure has been a recurrent concern, with multiple complaints about the intercom system (resolved in 2024), plumbing issues in bathrooms, and electrical problems.

Historical data from 2018 shows several complaints about illegal conversions, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. The Department of Buildings recorded two complaints about building shaking/vibration in May 2024, and there was a significant work without permit violation issued in September 2018 regarding unauthorized modifications in apartment 15. While the property has passed recent rodent inspections as of October 2024, the maintenance history reveals persistent challenges in various systems requiring ongoing attention.
