Augrented Insights Report for 625 West 156th Street

The eight-story, 32-unit tenement at 625 West 156th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Francisco Delacruz and built in 1909, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025. The building has faced multiple heat/hot water issues, with recent complaints in April 2025 reporting problems affecting the entire building, for which HPD was unable to gain access to complete inspections. There have also been recurring plumbing issues, including toilet and water supply problems, as well as flooring concerns, with several inspection attempts in April 2025 being unsuccessful due to access issues. Earlier in 2025, there were significant water leak concerns, and complaints about ceiling paint/plaster conditions.

The building's history shows persistent infrastructure problems, with multiple active violations regarding exterior wall maintenance and drainage issues. In 2024-2025, there were violations related to fire safety systems, including carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues in Apartment 8C, and problems with hot water provision in Apartment 8D. The building has experienced various system failures documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations, with many recent HPD inspections unable to complete due to access issues. Notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, affecting different parts of the building.

The property has an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2024 regarding building walls, with a penalty imposed. Bedbug reports indicate one instance of infestation in 2024, with proper eradication recorded. Rodent inspections show generally passing results in recent years, though there were some failures noted between 2019-2021. The building's elevator and boiler systems have also been subjects of multiple complaints and inspections, though most recent inspection results found no violations. While some historical violations have been resolved, patterns of repeated issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
