Augrented Insights Report for 608 West 188th Street

This 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 608 West 188th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Georgia Servos and built in 1917, has experienced several significant maintenance and system issues in recent months. As of June 2025, there are open complaints regarding plumbing (sink) and paint/plaster (wall) issues. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water system problems, with three separate complaints in 2025 (January and May) and 2024 (July), though HPD inspections confirmed restoration of these services in each instance.

The property also experienced a power outage and various maintenance issues (cabinet, flooring/stairs, bathtub/shower) in July 2024, all of which were resolved without violations being issued. The building's April 2023 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment A, including lead paint hazards, peeling paint requirements, and door issues, though these were subsequently addressed and closed. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past two years (2022-2024) and passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, with only one failure noted in an inspection in July 2021.

Historical records show some administrative issues regarding lead paint compliance in 2023 and 2024, especially concerning Apartment 41, but these appear to have been resolved. The building has also undergone necessary inspections and certifications related to lead paint hazards, with proper documentation submitted to regulatory authorities. Recent 311 complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing and interior finishes, as evidenced by the open complaints filed in June 2025.
