Augrented Insights Report for 420 West 205th Street

420 West 205th Street is a 3-story, 42-unit residential building located in Inwood, built in 1948 and currently owned by Norman Shachnow Partners Lp. The building has experienced persistent issues with heating and hot water systems, with seven HPD complaints and violations related to these services in 2025 alone, most recently in April 2025.

While some of these complaints were resolved promptly with service restoration confirmations, a cooking gas complaint from February 2025 remains open as of the latest data. The building's heating system reliability has been a recurring concern, with similar complaints dating back to 2021 and 2023. The property has maintained relatively good records regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years (2022-2025), though there was one instance in the 2019-2020 period that was promptly addressed.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent passing inspection in January 2024, and previous years also showing compliance except for a failed inspection in late 2014. Additionally, the building had a violation in 2022 related to not filing an energy benchmarking report, though this was dismissed after the submission was confirmed. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive management to most emergencies, though the frequency of heating-related complaints suggests an ongoing challenge with building systems that affects resident comfort.
