Augrented Insights Report for 551 West 187th Street

The five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 551 West 187th Street, owned by Jose Tur, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around Unit 53. As of May 2024, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in Unit 53, including broken self-closing door hinges, issues with kitchen sink plumbing, problems with the ceiling and wall paint, and defective bathroom fixtures.

The building has also faced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, including mold (April 2024) and a history of rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown compliance with rodent control requirements. Between 2022 and 2024, the property has recorded multiple complaints regarding window safety (broken/missing window guards), unauthorized access during inspections, and various maintenance issues across different units.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past six years, with no reported infestations, the facility has shown periodic challenges with pest control and general maintenance compliance. Recent inspections and violations from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing attention required for interior maintenance issues, particularly in Unit 53, while earlier violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements were addressed in July 2023. The property's ownership has responded to most violations, with several being certified as corrected by June 2024, though some maintenance issues remain under observation.
