Augrented Insights Report for 659 West 162nd Street

659 West 162nd Street is a 6-story, 53-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Kavi Sukhram. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating systems, elevator functionality, and pest control. In 2025 alone, there was a heat/hot water complaint in April, while in 2024 the building faced multiple infrastructure challenges including water supply issues, electrical problems, and plumbing concerns.

The elevator system has been particularly problematic, with multiple Oath Violations issued between 2018 and 2024 for "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," along with Environmental Control Board violations related to maintenance and safety features. Pest control remains an ongoing concern, with recent Housing Maintenance Code violations for unsanitary conditions and pests filed as of June 2025, following previous rodent activity inspections showing both passes and failures between 2022 and 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring issues that impact resident comfort and safety.

Recent inspections have documented various repair needs, including problems with self-closing doors, water leaks, and general upkeep of windows and flooring. The property has shown some improvement in response to violations, as evidenced by multiple "Closed" statuses for past violations, though several recent issues remain open or were only temporarily resolved. The building's age and ongoing maintenance requirements are reflected in the history of permit applications and repairs, with some violations remaining active or requiring additional follow-up inspections. The presence of bedbug reports between 2017 and 2024 indicates periodic pest management challenges, though recent filings suggest improved eradication efforts.
