Augrented Insights Report for 8 West 119th Street

8 West 119th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Christine Debany. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building most recently reported in May 2025, and various violations related to moisture and structural issues in early 2025. The building has an ongoing pattern of pest-related issues, as evidenced by multiple unsanitary condition complaints and rodent inspection results showing repeated rat activity between 2024 and 2025, with some inspections passing requirements and others showing active infestation.

Apartment 5 has been a particular focus of multiple violations since 2022, including issues with window repairs, door functionality, and infestation problems, though recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show no active infestations. The building's maintenance history reveals several clusters of violations that have impacted resident comfort and safety, including multiple complaints about flooring issues, safety concerns with broken window guards, and various paint/plaster problems. There have also been recurring complaints about heating systems, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints being filed in 2023-2025.

While the building has attempted to address some issues, as evidenced by various violations being closed, new problems continue to emerge. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, showing no documented infestations in the past four reporting periods. Recent inspections have confirmed ongoing rodent issues, though a July 2025 inspection resulted in a passing grade for rodent control.
