Augrented Insights Report for 511 West 189th Street

The 42-unit, 6-story building at 511 West 189th Street in Washington Heights, owned by 509-511 West 189th LLC, has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, there were two significant heavy flow water leak complaints in 2025 and 2024, with the 2025 complaint resulting in inspection access being denied.

A similar pattern occurred with multiple inspections in 2024, including four instances where HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. The building, constructed in 1925 as a New Law Tenement, has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 2F, where issues have included visible mold conditions, plumbing problems, and defective doors between 2020 and 2024.

While the building has maintained an active rodent prevention program with multiple inspections passing since 2018, there was one "Rat Activity" finding in November 2022. The property has two open violations regarding water leakage and mold as of the latest data, and two active DOB violations regarding energy efficiency requirements from 2019 and 2021. The building has demonstrated effective pest control measures in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2020.
