Augrented Insights Report for 127 West 170th Street

127 West 170th Street is a six-story, 40-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Arturo Menendez. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months, with multiple open complaints as of April 2025 regarding water leaks, damp spots, ceiling issues, cabinet problems, and heating systems. The building has a documented history of plumbing and water supply issues, with several immediate emergency complaints in June 2025.

Prior to this, there were clusters of maintenance issues in 2024-2025 related to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, including radiator problems and lighting concerns. The building received multiple violations in 2024, primarily affecting apartments 1B and 5B, including issues with windows, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and radiator systems. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, passing all but one initial inspection in April 2025.

A significant electrical incident occurred in 2020 when a light switch blew up in the living room, resulting in a $4,000 violation for electrical work without a permit. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows no infestations, and there have been four rodent-related complaints and inspections between 2022 and 2025, with only one failed inspection noted in April 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open for various units, indicating ongoing maintenance needs, though some previous violations have been closed, including issues with marble treads in the lobby stairs and other common areas.
