Augrented Insights Report for 660 West 178th Street

660 West 178th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Barry Rudofsky. The property has experienced a pattern of maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns emerging in January 2025 regarding heat and appliance problems in individual apartments. In 2023, significant violations were documented in apartment 6D, including multiple instances of mold (approximately 20 square feet in the bathroom), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and flooring issues, though these were subsequently closed.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about its reliability and safety, most recently in 2024 resulting in a $1,250 fine for inadequate in-car communication and tripping hazards. A serious incident occurred in late 2021 when a fire damaged the basement area, leading to violations regarding illegal conversions of storage space into living quarters. The property has undergone various inspections and required corrections, including a 2023 tenant safety inspection that found no violations. While there have been some recent maintenance concerns, including a January 2025 heat/hot water issue and appliance malfunction, these were reported as resolved.

Notable improvements include consistent passing rates in rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, and an absence of bedbug infestations in recent years, with only one reported case in 2018-2019 that was successfully eradicated. The building's owners have faced multiple violations regarding failure to maintain exterior walls and facades, particularly noted in 2019-2020. Recent documents indicate active attention to various building systems, though some violations remain, including a 2024 issue regarding immediate hazard certification that is currently active. The property has maintained a pattern of addressing most violations through correction, though there have been instances of delayed compliance requiring financial penalties.
