Augrented Insights Report for 754 East 161st Street

754 East 161st Street is a 6-story, 29-unit residential building located in the Longwood neighborhood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Gary Smith. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple HPD complaints and violations related to window frames, plumbing problems, and mold.

Most notably, recent service requests resulted in violations being issued for window frame issues in May 2025, and there are concerning patterns of unsanitary conditions involving mold throughout 2025. The building has a documented history of plumbing and radiator problems in early 2025, as well as heat and hot water access issues. Prior to 2025, the building underwent significant inspections in 2024, particularly in apartment 3B, where multiple violations were found including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken floor under radiator, defective bathtub caulk, and visible mold conditions.

The property has also faced rodent activity challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2012 and 2023, though recent bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate no infestations. In 2019, there were safety concerns when part of the building's decorative stucco fell onto the sidewalk, though this was addressed with the installation of sidewalk sheds. While some violations have been resolved, the persistence of mold issues and multiple uncompleted inspections in 2025 raises ongoing maintenance concerns for the building.
