Augrented Insights Report for 505 East 178th Street

The 23-unit residential building at 505 East 178th Street in Tremont, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1928 as a New Law Tenement, currently faces several significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. The building has multiple open complaints, including unsanitary garbage storage, flooring problems, window frame issues, and an electrical/gas range problem, all dated from March to May 2025. There have been recent concerns about heat and hot water systems, with at least two complaints from early 2025 alone, and building-wide heating problems were reported in December 2024.

The property has documented violations from October 2024 regarding bathroom mold and paint issues in Apartment 1D, and multiple safety violations were noted in Apartment 2A in mid-2024, including defective smoke detectors, missing window guards, and issues with the fire escape. Structural and safety concerns have emerged more recently, with complaints filed in July 2024 regarding building stability and brickwork issues on the third floor facade, leading to active violations that require the installation of a sidewalk shed for public protection. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple failed inspections in early 2025 and previous baiting efforts in 2017-2018.

While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past two years (2022-2024), there were three affected units documented in 2019 and similar issues in 2020. The property has also accumulated two active violations from January 2022 related to unauthorized electrical work for a deli grocery installation. The building's recent inspection and complaint history indicate ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure and safety systems, including heating, structural integrity, and various maintenance issues. The presence of multiple open complaints with the Housing Preservation and Development department (HPD) as of mid-2025 suggests persistent difficulties in obtaining timely repairs and maintenance resolution.
