Augrented Insights Report for 185 West 170th Street

185 West 170th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Kobina Arhin. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with nine documented complaints between 2023 and 2024, three of which were classified as emergencies.

Recent maintenance concerns include multiple violations affecting apartments 1D and 4D, with the latter showing violations for defective plastered surfaces and kitchen cabinets as of August 2024. The building has faced various infrastructure challenges, including electrical issues (no lighting), bell/intercom problems, and garbage storage concerns in 2024, though many of these were resolved without violations being issued. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections from 2022 to 2024 revealing either rat activity or requiring bait applications, though a compliance inspection in November 2024 showed passing results.

While there have been various quality-of-life complaints, including sanitation, electrical, and plumbing issues, the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestation cases. Two Department of Buildings complaints were filed in 2020 and 2022 regarding plumbing maintenance and illegal hotel rooms respectively, but no violations were found upon inspection. The building appears to have consistent maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding its heating system and general infrastructure, though many individual complaints have been resolved through proper channels.
