Augrented Insights Report for 559 17th Street

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 559 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by David Cohen, has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building in December 2023 and April 2024. The building's structure has also faced significant concerns, with violations issued in September 2023 for maintaining exterior walls in disrepair, noting wood deterioration and maintenance issues, and a March 2024 violation for cracked brick walls on multiple exposures, which posed potential risks to pedestrians.

While the building underwent several Local Law 188 compliance inspections in 2024 with no violations recorded, it did experience one instance of building shaking in September 2023 that required inspection. The property has maintained reasonable maintenance compliance regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent annual reports from 2021 through 2024. Between 2019 and 2022, there were several violations issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspection records, though these were all dismissed in January 2025.

The building has active Local Law 188 compliance inspections as of July 2024, suggesting ongoing monitoring and compliance efforts. Past inspections from 2022-2024 show mostly no violations warranting enforcement action, though there was one instance of work without a permit recorded in March 2024. The property appears to have proper permit documentation for work completed in 2019 and 2021, with permits for exterior work issued during these periods.
