Augrented Insights Report for 729 West 186th Street

729 West 186th Street is a 6-story, 73-unit residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Isaac Bistritsky. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues since late 2024 through early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents across several months, particularly affecting the entire building, though inspections often faced access issues.

Several apartments within the building have documented maintenance concerns, including mold issues in apartments 4F and 5C (2023), plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues in 2023-2024), and various repairs needed in individual units such as broken window mechanisms, defective locks, and floor/ceiling issues. The building's elevator system has been a significant focus of attention, with multiple complaints and violations between 2023 and 2024 regarding functionality and safety features, including issues with the DLM system, in-car communication, and emergency systems. Structural concerns were noted in 2019 inspections regarding the building's exterior walls, parapet, and roof, though these violations were eventually dismissed after repairs.

Recent inspections have shown improvement in pest control efforts, with all rodent inspections in 2024 passing, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last three years. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections in 2024, and all bedbug reporting periods since 2021 have shown zero infested units. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance inspections, with some violations related to building systems and maintenance being resolved or dismissed through proper documentation and repairs.
