Augrented Insights Report for 157 West 179th Street

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 157 West 179th Street in University Heights, owned by Monica Carrasco, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The most recent concern involves a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in November 2023, which was promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Two open violations from 2023 and 2024 relate to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, while prior violations from 2022 indicate issues with lead-based paint hazard notifications and record-keeping.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance (passed inspections), following earlier rat activity reports in 2024 and 2021. Between 2020 and 2021, the property faced multiple environmental control board violations, including serious concerns about a partially collapsed retaining wall that posed a public safety risk, resulting in penalties totaling $8,375. These were subsequently resolved, though there were issues with timely correction certification.

The building has undergone several inspections related to rodent control and has generally maintained compliance, with periodic rat activity detected between 2018 and 2024. Earlier violations from 2018-2020 included construction-related issues and problems with plumbing work that triggered stop work orders. Multiple permits for emergency work were issued in 2019 and 2020, indicating ongoing maintenance and repair activities at the property.
