Augrented Insights Report for 525 West 236th Street

The 6-story, 57-unit building at 525 West 236th Street in Riverdale, owned by Steven Greenbaum and constructed in 1956, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints reported through HPD, including incidents in December 2024, October 2024, March 2024, and several others. The building is currently facing active violations that remain unresolved as of August 2023, including significant issues in Apartment 1F related to mold (with approximately 56 square feet affected), defective ceramic tiles in the second bathroom, leaky faucets, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Environmental Control Board records show active violations from 2022 regarding failure to submit required exterior wall examination reports and inadequate repairs of cracked/spalled bricks, with penalties imposed.

The building's maintenance history includes both emergency heat/hot water interventions and various infrastructure concerns, as evidenced by complaints and violations. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases from 2019 through 2024. A rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 passed, indicating no current rodent issues.

The building's permit history from 2019 shows multiple exterior work permits were issued, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints and violations over the years, including one in 2020 regarding work without a permit, though this was closed with no violations warranted. The combined records indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture-related issues, with some structural concerns noted in recent violations.
