Augrented Insights Report for 556 West 191st Street

The 21-unit, 5-story building at 556 West 191st Street in Washington Heights, built in 1910 and currently owned by Moshe Piller, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, there were multiple service requests including emergency reports of heavy water leaks and toilet plumbing problems, though some inspections were not completed.

The building has shown recurring rodent problems, with rat activity consistently documented between 2022 and 2025, including inspections passing in April 2025 but showing activity in multiple previous inspections. There was also an unsanitary condition involving mold identified in September 2024. The property has a documented history of various maintenance violations, including lead paint hazards in Apartment 51 which were addressed and certified as corrected in October 2024.

The building experienced heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in October 2024, and several non-emergency complaints were filed in 2025 regarding building systems including the intercom and ceiling conditions. Notably, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion filed in December 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during the final attempt in February 2025. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting with no infestations documented since at least 2020, the ongoing rodent issues and various maintenance complaints suggest persistent challenges with building systems and pest control.
