Augrented Insights Report for 507 West 179th Street

507 West 179th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Fraidy Rubin. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services, particularly heat and hot water, with multiple complaints recorded in 2024 and early 2025 (most recently in May 2025 for heavy water flow issues). A notable cluster of complaints in late 2024 included two separate heat/hot water issues (one affecting the entire building), asbestos concerns, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage.

Several service requests for building-wide heat and hot water problems in October 2024 went unresolved due to lack of access for inspections. The building has faced maintenance challenges, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in 2024, particularly regarding fire safety and public hall conditions. These include requirements to repair fire-retardant materials and repaint ceilings in the 1st-story public hall, as well as issues with self-closing doors.

Electrical issues were also recorded, including work orders for power outages and outlet problems in 2024. The Department of Buildings has an active violation from June 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed. While rodent activity was documented in 2022 with multiple bait applications, recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed. The building appears to be currently free of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last two years, though there was one case in 2020-2021 that was eradicated.
