Augrented Insights Report for 88 West 197th Street

88 West 197th Street is a 6-story, 37-unit residential building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Phil Gjenashi. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple reports of mold problems, electrical outages, and building system concerns.

Most notably, there have been three separate mold-related incidents reported between March and May 2025, electrical wiring issues in March 2025, and a power outage in May 2025. An inspection in October 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 3F, including issues with plastered surfaces, ceramic tiles, bathroom fixtures, and electrical lighting that remain open as of the current date. The building has a documented history of elevator-related problems, with numerous complaints between 2019 and 2023 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service.

These issues have resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations, with fines totaling $5,937 between 2020 and 2023 for various elevator safety concerns. Recent rodent activity has been recorded in 2024 and 2025, and while previous bedbug reports from 2022-2023 showed zero infested units, the building has required multiple pest control inspections. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring violations and service requests, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding elevator safety and electrical systems.
