Augrented Insights Report for 243 West 179th Street

The 6-story, 255-unit New Law tenement at 243 West 179th Street, owned by Michael Weiss and constructed in 1926, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in 2025. Between May and June 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding the building's bell/buzzer/intercom systems, with three separate incidents reported in May 2025.

Additional concerns have centered around plumbing issues, with one violation noted in May 2025 regarding bathroom fixtures, while inspections also recorded rodent activity in early 2025. The building has shown persistent rodent problems, with multiple failed inspections between January and June 2025, despite some passing inspections in previous months. Earlier maintenance issues have included a series of violations in Apartment 5B1 from November 2024, documenting problems with pests (including roaches and mice), water damage, and mold.

Apartment 7C5 has open violations from October 2024 regarding floor and door repairs, water leaks, and mold conditions. The building underwent issues with exterior maintenance and scaffolding, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2023-2024, including problems with sidewalk shed lighting and safety concerns, though most of these violations have been resolved with penalties. Despite these challenges, the building's bedbug reports for the past five years (2019-2025) indicate no infestations, and recent inspections have shown some improvement in rodent control, with several passing inspections recorded in 2024.
