Augrented Insights Report for 422 East 161st Street

422 East 161st Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in the Melrose neighborhood, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Josh Koppel. The building has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water services throughout 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD during October-November 2024 alone. These complaints were generally resolved with inspections showing restoration of services, though access issues were noted in some cases.

Additionally, there were recent complaints in November 2024 regarding wall paint/plaster and mold conditions, as well as a problematic pest infestation documented in October 2024 affecting Unit 5E, for which violations were issued. The building's violation history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly in 2020-2022. Notable issues include multiple active ECB violations related to gas piping that suggest unsafe conditions and unauthorized modifications, though these complaints from 2020-2022 had inspections showing "No Violation" at the time.

There are also three active DOB violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years. In terms of recent maintenance, the building underwent several inspections in late 2023 showing consistent rat activity, with bait applications though the specific results of these interventions are not documented. While the bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 shows no reported infestations, the building's persistent issues with heat/hot water services and pests, along with multiple open violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
