Augrented Insights Report for 609 West 158th Street

Located in Washington Heights, 609 West 158th Street is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The building has experienced consistent maintenance and pest issues over the past several years, with particular concerns about rodent activity being documented through multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 showing rat activity and bait application.

The property has also faced various building maintenance challenges, including emergency electrical issues (no lighting) and heating problems in December 2022, unsanitary conditions related to mold in 2023, and a pattern of water-related issues in 2019 (both heavy and slow leaks). Recent building compliance matters include multiple failed access attempts for inspections under Local Law 188/17 in 2024 and 2025, and a partial stop work order was issued in June 2025 regarding site conditions endangering workers.

The building is currently facing an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report, issued in September 2024. Inspection records from December 2022 revealed several open violations in apartment 2C, including issues with pests (roaches and mice), safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and sanitation (inoperable garbage receptacles, including a discarded refrigerator). While bedbug reports indicate no infestations from 2018 to 2024, and recent rodent inspections in early 2025 show some compliance, the building's permit activity in 2024-2025 suggests ongoing maintenance work, with multiple emergency work permits issued throughout the period.
