Augrented Insights Report for 948 East 179th Street

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 948 East 179th Street in West Farms, owned by Yisroel Baron and constructed in 1905, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of May 2025, there are two open complaints regarding the building's intercom system from April-May 2025, and an open safety complaint regarding the fire escape from April 2025. The building faced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout March-April 2025, with multiple emergency complaints indicating problems affected the entire building.

Additional recent concerns include a mold complaint from March 2025 that was not fully investigated due to access issues. The property has a documented history of violations, including multiple housing maintenance code violations from late 2024 involving apartments 2, 5, and 7, primarily concerning safety equipment like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as pest infestations. Earlier issues from 2020-2021 included illegal conversions, blocked egress pathways, and late-night noise complaints.

Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 indicated problems with exit passageways, which were subsequently resolved. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed rat activity, continuing a pattern of pest-related issues despite previous extermination efforts. The building's maintenance history, particularly regarding safety systems and pest control, suggests ongoing challenges with infrastructure and resident comfort, though all documented bedbug reports from 2019-2025 show no identified infestations.
