Augrented Insights Report for 520 West 204th Street

520 West 204th Street is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building located in Inwood, built in 1920 and currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in January 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these were ultimately resolved. More recent concerns include open complaints as of February 2025 regarding wall and window frame conditions, with these issues still pending resolution.

Apartment 6 has undergone significant scrutiny, with several violations noted in 2023 including lead paint hazards, water leaks, and defective safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), though most of these violations were certified as corrected by late 2023. The building's infrastructure has faced various challenges, including plumbing issues (August 2024) and a heavy water leak (February 2023), while a defective boiler complaint in January 2024 was ultimately closed due to inspector access issues. The property has a mixed history of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), though there were some incidents noted in 2019-2020.

Recent rodent inspections show improvement, with passed results in both 2024 and 2025, following some instances of rat activity in previous years (2020, 2022). The building underwent significant renovations in 2018 that led to several violations, including unauthorized occupancy of a cellar apartment, failure to post required tenant protection plans, and missing fire stopping installations in multiple apartments, though these were subsequently resolved and no longer present a current concern. The most recent inspection reports from 2023-2025 indicate generally improved conditions, with particular attention required for the open maintenance issues reported in early 2025.
