Augrented Insights Report for 221 Wadsworth Avenue

221 Wadsworth Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Brian Newman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for lack of service in the entire building. There were also recent concerns about unsanitary conditions, including pests, with the most recent complaint in April 2025.

The building underwent several repairs in late 2024, including addressing violations related to a leaking roof, damaged fire-retardant materials, and ceiling painting requirements in the 6th story public hall. Additional maintenance history shows periodic rat activity between 2017-2025, with the most recent proper compliance inspection in January 2025. The building had significant electrical system violations in 2018, including issues with grounding and electrical wiring that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $10,000.

More recent structural concerns include a boiler inspection violation from November 2019. The elevator service was a concern in 2022, with complaints recorded about the lack of alternate service, but inspections found no violations at the time. Despite the various maintenance issues, the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations based on multiple annual filings from 2019 to 2025. The most recent records show active management of rodent control, with inspections generally passing, though there were some initial reports of rat activity in 2022-2024.
