Augrented Insights Report for 943 East 179th Street

943 East 179th Street is a 4-story, 9-unit New Law Tenement building located in the West Farms neighborhood, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Jeff Mustafaj. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2025, with multiple plumbing problems, including steam pipe/riser issues and water leaks, some of which resulted in HPD violations. There have been recurring concerns with sanitation throughout 2023, including pest infestations (notably rodents), garbage storage problems, and sewage issues, with several violations documented by HPD.

The building's first-floor apartment (Apartment 1) has faced significant challenges, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023-2024 related to electrical problems, mold, bug infestations, and various maintenance issues, all of which required attention. Recent inspections have also revealed concerns with fire safety, particularly regarding blocked fire escapes and emergency exits, for which Oath Violations were served in early 2023, resulting in substantial fines. The property has an active history of rodent activity, with documented rat sightings and inspections between 2021 and 2025 showing consistently positive results for rat activity.

The building has multiple open violations with the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file annual external low-pressure inspection reports from 2019-2023, though there are no bedbug infestation issues reported in recent periods (2022-2024). Recent maintenance code complaints from late 2024 document various non-emergency and emergency issues, including problems with doors/windows, flooring, safety features, and multiple instances of mold-related concerns, all of which were closed in early 2025. The inspection of rodent activity and recent maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and pest control.
