Augrented Insights Report for 720 West 172nd Street

The 6-story, 32-unit tenement building at 720 West 172nd Street in Washington Heights, currently owned by Daniel Wechsler, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with a particularly concerning pattern of heating system problems. Since late 2024 through mid-2025, there have been multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints, including three building-wide incidents and several apartment-specific issues, with inspection access repeatedly denied to HPD.

The building has also faced significant rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in February 2025 have shown improvements with a "Passed" status. Historical records dating back to 2019 show persistent electrical system maintenance issues, with multiple violations regarding defective/exposed wiring and unauthorized electrical work.

There were also violations related to window A/C unit support brackets (2023) and various maintenance issues in apartment 3B between 2023-2024, including pest infestations and water leak problems. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the last six filing periods. While there have been multiple housing maintenance violations and complaints over the years, many have been resolved through inspections and repairs, though some, such as the 2019 electrical grounding issue, remain active.
