Augrented Insights Report for 615 West 172nd Street

The six-story, 72-unit building at 615 West 172nd Street in Washington Heights, owned by Sylvia Sznajder and constructed in 1922, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple building-wide complaints logged in late 2024 and early 2025, some classified as emergencies. As of mid-2025, there remain open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (pests and garbage storage) and plumbing issues (toilet problems), while a boiler-related complaint from November 2024 is also still open.

The building has undergone several significant inspections and repairs, including addressing lead paint hazards, door issues, and various plumbing repairs. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with recent inspections in late 2024 showing both passed and rat activity results. Elevator and boiler maintenance has been a recurring theme in complaints, with violations recorded for both systems, though no violations were found during subsequent inspections in 2020 and 2021.

The building's intercom system required repairs in 2024, and multiple heat/hot water complaints indicate potentially ongoing systems issues. The Department of Buildings records show various complaints from 2018 to 2025, including concerns about illegal conversions, unpermitted work, and illegal signage, though most of these were ultimately found to have no violations. Bedbug reports for the past five years show minimal infestations, with only one recorded case in 2021 that was subsequently resolved.
