Augrented Insights Report for 605 West 161st Street

The 10-story building at 605 West 161st Street in Washington Heights, owned by Abraham Sutton, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its completion in 2015. Most recently, in early 2025, there were heat and hot water complaints that HPD could not inspect, marking the fourth such incident since January 2022.

Other notable issues include flooring violations in apartment 3D (2024) and 8D (2023), a mold problem (2023), a significant water leak (2022), and multiple smoking violations (2018-2020) that resulted in fines from the Environmental Control Board totaling $1,875. The building's infrastructure has seen various maintenance challenges, including elevator problems in 2020 that resulted in ECB violations for machine brake maintenance and door restrictor issues. While recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have generally passed, there were signs of rat activity in late 2022.

Bedbug activity was reported once in the most recent 2023-2024 period, following a similar occurrence in 2019-2020. The building has maintained regular compliance inspections, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing no active issues, though previous years had some concerns. While the building's age suggests modern systems, the recurring nature of heat, water, and structural issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges that warrant attention.
