Augrented Insights Report for 602 West 157th Street

The 39-unit building at 602 West 157th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Konstantinos Kapelonis, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2024 and January 2025, though many inspections were unable to gain access for verification. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a door-related complaint which HPD investigated but found no housing law violations.

The building has ongoing safety concerns, with multiple open and closed violations related to fire door functionality noted in late 2023, particularly regarding missing or defective self-closing doors on the first floor hall, with a previous violation also found on the fifth floor in February 2023. The building has also experienced rodent activity, with inspection results showing rat presence in 2024, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 passed.

Historical records show the building had issues with illegal occupancy in 2018, where Unit 3B was found to be operating as illegal SRO, as well as some structural maintenance needs including floor repair in Unit 2D and stair tread replacement in 2020. While the building has had a series of violations and complaints over the years, recent bedbug and rat inspections in 2025 show improved conditions in those specific areas, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years and recent rodent compliance passing inspection.
