Augrented Insights Report for 54 East 179th Street

54 East 179th Street is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Harrison Rayford. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2024-2025, including an emergency complaint in March 2025 that was resolved when heat and hot water were restored.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure challenges, particularly in December 2024 when several plumbing issues were reported (water supply problems and basin/sink issues), along with concerns about walls, windows, and doors, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for many of these complaints. Notable violations include active environmental control board violations related to boiler safety from 2020-2022, including issues with shut-off valves and registration, and historical problems with electrical wiring. Recent inspections indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with open violations as of 2024 concerning rodent infestations and pest control.

Unit 5A has multiple documented issues from 2023-2024, including pest infestations, unsafe gas lines, and required repairs to bathroom tiles and walls. The building's rodent inspection records show consistent rat activity throughout 2024-2025, though some baiting efforts have been implemented. The property has maintained a clean bedbug report record over the past five years, with no reported infestations since 2019, and recent permits have been issued for various repairs and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building conditions.
