Augrented Insights Report for 554 West 181st Street

The five-story, 24-unit tenement building at 554 West 181st Street in Washington Heights, built in 1906 and currently owned by Armand Cucciniello, has experienced several notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, there is currently an open food poisoning complaint with the Department of Health (June 2025) and multiple open unsanitary condition complaints related to garbage/recycling storage (January 2025). The building has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in January 2025 (some successfully resolved) and violations from December 2024 related to inadequate heat and hot water provision in apartments L and M.

The property has also experienced rodent activity, with inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 showing consistent evidence of rat activity, though baiting efforts have been applied. The building has several infrastructure and safety concerns documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints. These include issues with self-closing doors in public areas (December 2024 inspection) and persistent problems with garbage storage areas.

Historical data shows various building maintenance issues from 2019-2020, including multiple violations for masonry problems, construction without proper permits, and drainage issues. While these were generally addressed through inspections and corrective actions, some violations remain active. The building's management has maintained records showing no bedbug infestations or eradications in recent years, and environmental compliance records indicate responsive management to various maintenance issues when they arise, though some systemic problems appear to persist. The property has undergone periodic rodent control measures, indicating ongoing monitoring and response to pest control needs.
