Augrented Insights Report for 515 West 187th Street

The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 515 West 187th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Joseph Zitolo, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented, including problems with water leaks, smoke detectors, floors, cabinets, doors, mold, pests, and potential lead-based paint conditions. The building has also faced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Inspection records from December 2024 identified open violations in apartments 2A, 2B, 3D, 5C, and 6E, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, bathroom tiles, and door hardware. The elevator system has been a persistent problem, with multiple complaints between 2018-2020 about single device service and maintenance issues, though most were resolved or dismissed after inspection. The building's infrastructure has required attention to facade maintenance, with a 2020 violation noting issues with eroded mortar joints and a damaged chimney.

More recently, rodent control has been a concern, with several bait applications recorded between late 2023 and 2024, though more recent inspections in 2024-2025 passed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in the past five years. The building's ownership is currently facing pressure to address multiple open violations related to safety systems and general maintenance, though the property has historically demonstrated an ability to resolve violations when inspections are conducted.
