Augrented Insights Report for 517 West 179th Street

The six-unit, two-story building at 517 West 179th Street, owned by Ryan Pedram and constructed in 1900, is currently experiencing multiple unresolved maintenance issues as of January 2025, including problems with the ventilation system, plumbing fixtures (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), electrical outlets, water leaks, and pest infestations. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, with several violations issued between 2024-2025 concerning self-closing doors, window hardware, and safety equipment in apartment 3B, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Previous violations from late 2024 included issues with paint/plaster conditions and mold in apartment 2B. The building's mechanical systems have raised concerns, with multiple violations for failure to file annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports between 2018-2024, though these were ultimately dismissed by the Department of Buildings. Recent inspection and violation records indicate ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly related to building safety systems and plumbing infrastructure.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023-2024) and shows no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, the current open complaints and violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The most recent 311 service requests from January 2025 remain unresolved, with HPD noting that inspection attempts were unable to be completed in some cases, and violations were issued in September 2024 for various conditions needing correction. The building has undergone limited permit activity in recent years, with two permits issued in 2023 for unspecified work.
