Augrented Insights Report for 815 West 181st Street

The 69-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 815 West 181st Street in Washington Heights, owned by Florence Edelstein, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since mid-2024. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation from December 2024 regarding exterior facade maintenance with a penalty of $2,500, and multiple violations related to a hazardous sidewalk shed from 2024 with penalties totaling $6,800. The building has recent documented problems with mold, pest infestations, and window frame issues, with several open complaints from June 2025 regarding window frames and paint/plaster problems.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 indicate problems in apartments 1J and 5I, including mold, pests, and water leak issues. The building has faced ongoing elevator service challenges, with multiple complaints in 2023-2025 regarding single-device operation and no alternate service. A concerning incident involving workers falling from scaffolding occurred in late 2023, resulting in serious injuries and a significant $25,000 penalty.

Recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have shown consistent rat activity, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. The property faced multiple issues regarding facade maintenance compliance and safety during construction activities, with several violations related to scaffold and sidewalk safety. While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years (2018-2024), and some environmental violations have been resolved, the building's maintenance record shows persistent concerns with basic apartment conditions and building systems.
