Augrented Insights Report for 736 West 181st Street

736 West 181st Street is a 6-story, 68-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Martin Scharf. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants between October 2024 and January 2025, though most were resolved after HPD verification of corrected conditions. There were also pest-related concerns, with a notable infestation in Apartment 2C documented in December 2024.

A significant fire incident occurred in October 2024, affecting multiple floors (2F, 3F, and 4F), resulting in recorded violations. Recent maintenance issues include ongoing elevator safety concerns documented in 2020, and three active ECB violations from December 2024 regarding unpermitted work in apartments 2F, 3F, and 4F involving electrical and plumbing updates. The building has undergone several tenant safety inspections in 2025, with most resulting in either compliance confirmation or no violations found, though one inspection in January 2025 resulted in an Oath Violation.

There have been persistent rodent control efforts documented throughout 2024, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing rat activity. The building's environmental control board violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, with penalties for work conducted without proper permits. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the last three years (2022-2025), with only one infested unit recorded in 2019, which was reportedly eradicated.
