Augrented Insights Report for 280 East 170th Street

The 79-unit, 6-story building at 280 East 170th Street in Claremont Village, owned by Ramon Espinal, has experienced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, with multiple open violations and service requests. Currently, there are multiple active water-related issues, including two open slow water leak complaints (May 2025), an open emergency mold violation (May 2025), and additional water supply violations (June 2025). The building has faced persistent elevator problems, with multiple violations between 2018-2024 regarding inoperative elevators and failed inspections, most recently documented in July 2024 with active penalties related to elevator maintenance. Apartment 615 has specific open violations from December 2024 requiring repairs to walls, windows, and electrical systems.

The property has shown recurring issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple open pest-related violations as of June 2025, and has experienced periodic rodent control challenges, with failed inspections noted in December 2024 and June 2025. Infrastructure concerns have been documented, including violations regarding the building's rear retaining wall condition (April 2024), and issues with the roof causing interior leaks have been reported. A bedbug infestation situation was reported in 2024, affecting four units. While some issues have been addressed, including appliance repairs and some sanitation matters, the building's record shows an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges requiring attention, particularly related to water systems, elevator functionality, and pest control.

Furthermore, the property has a history of not filing required reports, such as the FISP Cycle 9A technical report for exterior wall conditions (2022). Recent inspections continue to show compliance failures in various areas, indicating persistent maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1995) suggests some of these issues may relate to aging infrastructure, while the frequency of recent complaints indicates ongoing maintenance requirements. The Department of Buildings records show several active penalties associated with building maintenance and elevator operations, though some past violations have been resolved.
