Augrented Insights Report for 497 East 156th Street

The 20-unit, 5-story building at 497 East 156th Street in Longwood, owned by Shia Shtesl and constructed in 1924, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open emergency violation regarding smoke detectors, along with multiple open non-emergency violations from June 2025 related to plumbing issues in the bathtub, toilet, and windows, as well as problems with ceiling paint/plaster. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in late 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Additionally, there have been persistent pest control challenges, including rodent activity as evidenced by multiple bait applications from March to July 2024, and an unsuccessful inspection attempt regarding pests in October 2024. Historical records show the building had boiler-related issues in 2020-2021, with inspections resulting in citations for unregistered boilers, though these violations were eventually resolved. Unit 3B was found to have multiple violations in 2024 related to lead paint hazards, ceiling repairs, and various unsanitary conditions.

Unit 2B experienced significant maintenance problems in 2024, including infestations and multiple repair issues, with violations related to plumbing fixtures and paint conditions. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting with no confirmed infestations during the past three reporting periods (2021-2024). While some complaints have been resolved through HPD interventions, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the areas of plumbing, pest control, and safety systems.
