Augrented Insights Report for 140 West 79th Street

140 West 79th Street is a 13-story, 70-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914 in the Upper West Side, currently owned by Nalea Realty Corp. The building has experienced several significant events regarding heat and safety systems in recent years, most notably a heat/hot water complaint in February 2024 that affected the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building's elevator system generated a complaint in September 2023, which was inspected in October 2023 with no violations found. There were also issues with sidewalk protection in July 2019, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations related to expired permits and inadequate lighting, though these were resolved. The building has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2018-2020 for equipment and environmental improvements.

Significant violations were documented in 2018 for apartment 11E, including issues with doors, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and peeling paint in the bathroom and foyer, all of which were certified as resolved by February 2018. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (as per filings from 2019-2024), and recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed successfully, though there were two failures noted in 2022. The building has seen regular maintenance inspections and permit renewals, with the most recent permits from 2020 showing active maintenance of building systems.
