Augrented Insights Report for 612 West 178th Street

612 West 178th Street is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building located in Washington Heights, built in 1915 and currently owned by Barry Rudofsky. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being multiple heating and hot water complaints in early 2024, though these were marked as duplicates and ultimately closed without inspection. Recent concerns include a standing water issue on the sidewalk (September 2024) and unsanitary garbage storage (September 2024), both of which were investigated with no violations found.

The building has a history of mechanical and safety system deficiencies, including problems with doors and windows in September 2024, and various housing maintenance violations in 2023 related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, plumbing issues, and water leaks. The building's safety systems have undergone inspections in recent years, with violations documented in 2023 for fire door hardware and emergency lighting. Several illegal conversion complaints have been filed (most recently in 2025), though inspections did not result in any violations being confirmed.

The property has maintained a clean record of bedbug incidents, with zero reported infestations since 2019. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance. The building has also faced some regulatory scrutiny regarding its exterior maintenance and safety features, with Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2023 for unpermitted sidewalk shed use and non-operational lighting, resulting in fines totaling $4,900, though these were subsequently resolved.
