Augrented Insights Report for 215 West 259th Street

215 West 259th Street is a 5-story, 47-unit residential building in North Riverdale, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Zog Celaj. The building has experienced persistent heating issues between late 2024 and 2025, with eight documented complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with the most recent complaints occurring in April 2025. These heating problems have required multiple interventions from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though in many cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of inspection.

The building has also faced some infrastructure challenges, including a plumbing issue in October 2024 regarding water supply, and safety concerns with multiple violations related to door closures. Between September and December 2024, violations were documented regarding malfunctioning self-closing doors in various sections of the building, including the entrance double doors and doors between court and vestibule areas. During this same period, the building was cited for several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to encumbrances in public areas and a failure to post proper smoke detector requirements. The building's maintenance history indicates some irregularities with boiler operations and safety systems, including multiple emergency heating complaints and violations related to building systems.

The Department of Buildings records show several violations between 2020 and 2023, including an active violation from December 2023 regarding failure to display energy efficiency information. Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past six years from 2019 to 2025. However, there were documented instances of rodent activity in 2019, with two inspections showing evidence of rat presence. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance activities, with several violations from multiple oversight agencies being properly closed after resolution, though some issues appear to persist or recur, particularly regarding heating system reliability and door safety mechanisms.
