Augrented Insights Report for 620 East 178th Street

620 East 178th Street is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building in Tremont, built in 1928 and currently owned by Barry Singer. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues, with multiple violations and complaints registered in 2024-2025. Most notably, there is a cluster of plumbing and ceiling problems documented in June 2025, including bathtub/showers, toilets, and ceilings requiring repairs, with violations issued.

The building has been facing ongoing pest management challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests between April and June 2025, and recurrent rodent activity still being recorded in 2025 despite bait applications. The most significant violations appear to be concentrated in apartment 4D, where multiple issues were documented in December 2024, including water leaks, infestation, and various maintenance concerns affecting electrical, plumbing, and plaster surfaces. The building's recent history includes several active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2023-2024, specifically regarding window maintenance and unauthorized gas work in multiple apartments.

There are also two DOB complaints from 2023 and 2021 related to structural stability concerns, though it's unclear if these were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three filing periods from 2022-2024. However, the building currently has open violations related to energy efficiency score display and external low-pressure inspection filing from late 2024. While the building has undergone various maintenance inspections and repairs over the years, the sheer volume of recent complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance with housing codes.
