Augrented Insights Report for 600 West 239th Street

The 90-unit, 6-story building at 600 West 239th Street in Riverdale, owned by Joseph Lifschutz, has experienced several pressing maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are current concerns about lead dust in common areas as of March 2025, and a documented mold issue in March 2025 that was reportedly corrected according to HPD.

The building has also faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and garbage/recycling storage problems, particularly evident in late 2024. Of significant concern is the apartment 2M, which was cited for multiple lead paint hazards in July 2024, with violations classified as "C" severity requiring prompt attention. The property has had recurring elevator issues, with complaints about single device operation noted in December 2022 and multiple complaints in 2023-2024.

There was a building stability concern reported in July 2024, and the building failed rodent inspections in late 2024 and early 2025. While there have been several plumbing-related emergency complaints in June 2025 that were promptly closed, past maintenance history shows some consistent issues with building maintenance, including violations for exterior wall maintenance and rusted railings. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with many being resolved through compliance actions, though some like the July 2024 lead paint violations in apartment 2M remain open as of the latest inspection records.
