Augrented Insights Report for 870 West 181st Street

The six-story, 61-unit building at 870 West 181st Street in Washington Heights, owned by Karla Neilson, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of February 2024, there are multiple open violations related to building safety, including missing or defective window guards in apartments 49 and 57, and an improperly functioning fire door in the basement.

Of particular concern is an ongoing 2024 lead dust complaint in common areas under investigation by the Department of Health. The building's history shows a pattern of safety violations, including a 2024 violation related to elevator service, structural concerns noted in 2021 regarding sloping floors and cracking walls, and a 2024 incident involving unauthorized interior demolition work on the cellar level that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The property has maintained a generally stable record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infestations, though there were some issues noted in previous years (2020-2021 showing one infestation, and 2019-2020 showing four).

Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed, indicating no significant rodent problems. Recent inspections under Local Law 188/17 and various Building Department compliance checks in 2024 and 2025 have generally resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings, though a building stability complaint was recorded in June 2024. The building's permit history shows multiple work permits issued between 2018-2019 for various projects, including plumbing and exterior work, though there are no specific details about these projects in the available data.
