Augrented Insights Report for 636 West 172nd Street

636 West 172nd Street is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Socratis Foradoulas. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant maintenance concerns including door frame problems (2024), and a history of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in both January and October 2021, though these were reported as resolved upon inspection.

The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing passed results, following some periods of rat activity between 2022-2023. The property has maintained an active record of addressing various maintenance issues, with 2023 inspections revealing several violations in Apartment 21 that have since been addressed, including problems with the intercom system, plastered surfaces, and a non-functional self-closing door. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024 shows consistent absence of infestations in recent years, with the last recorded eradication of 26 units occurring in 2020.

Water-related issues have also been documented, with heavy flow leaks reported in 2020 and 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in both instances. Various unsanitary conditions were reported in 2020 related to sewage, pests, and garbage storage, which were also subject to inspection. Recent building conditions suggest an ongoing effort to address maintenance issues, with violations being properly certified and closed when resolved.
