Augrented Insights Report for 609 West 191st Street

609 West 191st Street is a 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by David Sohayegh. The property has experienced persistent mold issues in 2025, with multiple 311 service requests filed between April and May 2025, resulting in several violations being issued, particularly affecting apartment 32, where the most significant issues were documented. These violations included problems with hot water supply, heating, intercom system, and window mechanisms.

A pattern of inspection access issues is evident, with multiple HPD inspections in 2025 being unable to gain access to the affected units. The building's recent history shows violations related to sanitary conditions, with four open mold complaints as of May 2025. However, the property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control regulations, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, except for one in September 2024 which noted rat activity. The building has a documented history of various maintenance issues and complaints from 2018 to present, including concerns about fire escape obstructions, yard maintenance, and plumbing systems.

Multiple Department of Buildings inspections between 2018 and 2022 revealed access issues, particularly regarding Certificate of Occupancy concerns, electrical wiring problems, and illegal conversion complaints. In 2022, violations were issued regarding water staining and ceiling issues in apartments 52 and 54, with a penalty imposed. The building has maintained a pest-free status with respect to bedbugs, showing no reported cases in annual inspections from 2018 through 2024, and a rodent inspection conducted in April 2025 passed without issues. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture and heating systems, it also shows periods of compliance with various building codes and regulations, though recent mold-related violations suggest ongoing maintenance concerns.
