Augrented Insights Report for 655 West 177th Street

The 5-story, 25-unit tenement building at 655 West 177th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Ray Seelall, has faced significant ongoing challenges with its heating and hot water system throughout 2025. Between March and May 2025, the building experienced ten separate heat and hot water complaints, with many being building-wide issues that required multiple tenants to file complaints. Some complaints resulted in HPD violations, though inspections often faced access issues.

The building has maintained a consistent record of heat-related complaints, with another such complaint filed in March 2025, February 2024, and 2023, indicating a persistent systemic problem. In addition to the heat issues, the building has experienced some maintenance challenges. A November 2024 inspection identified several violations including self-closing door issues in the stairwell and vestibule, and problems with fire escape ladder shoes.

Earlier violations from 2024 also noted mold issues in apartment 3C and roach infestation in apartment 3D, though these were addressed. The building's emergency response system received attention in 2024, with violations regarding gas leak procedures and fire escape maintenance. While the Department of Buildings inspected the boiler in April 2023 with no violations found, there have been recurring rodent activity reports in recent years, with the most recent inspection showing rat activity in October 2023, though a passed inspection in October 2024 offers some improvement. Notably, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows zero reported infestations, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
