Augrented Insights Report for 727 East 156th Street

The 25-unit, 6-story tenement building at 727 East 156th Street in Longwood, owned by Abe Fixler, has a long history dating back to 1906 and has recently experienced numerous maintenance challenges. As of April 2025, there are several ongoing issues requiring attention, including open complaints regarding window frame conditions and refrigerator problems.

The building has faced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in early 2025, though some were later closed after inspections. Notably, in 2024, there were significant maintenance violations in Apartment 5A, including mold issues, electrical problems, and various plaster and paint deficiencies, all of which were officially certified for correction in June 2024. The property has a concerning pattern of safety-related incidents and violations, including open emergency work orders regarding unstable fire escapes issued in May 2024, and multiple violations related to the building's exterior facade requiring repairs.

There have been repeated issues with scaffold safety and maintenance, resulting in substantial penalties in late 2024. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), there have been ongoing rodent control efforts documented in 2023-2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application. The building's management has faced various violations related to facade maintenance, fire escape safety, and general building upkeep, with multiple active violations as of 2025 indicating persistent maintenance challenges.
