Augrented Insights Report for 711 West 171st Street

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 711 West 171st Street in Washington Heights, built in 1929 and currently owned by Martin Scharf, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded through HPD. Between January 2025 and April 2025, the building experienced at least ten documented complaints regarding heat and hot water services, with several incidents requiring HPD inspections and attempts to gain access for verification.

The building has a notable history of elevator issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations at the time. In late 2024, a comprehensive inspection of Apartment 24 revealed several maintenance issues, including problems with self-closing doors, lead-based paint hazards, broken plastered surfaces, and window guard deficiencies. While some violations have been marked as "Closed," several lead paint-related issues remain "Open" status.

The building has shown variability in pest management outcomes, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024-2025 indicating two units affected and successfully treated, while earlier reports showed no infestations. Rodent inspections in 2023 had mixed results, with multiple inspections reporting rat activity and requiring intervention, though recent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 have passed under current standards. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding heat, elevator service, and pest management, despite some improvements indicated by recent inspections.
