Augrented Insights Report for 17 West 125th Street

The five-story, 49-unit tenement building at 17 West 125th Street in Harlem, owned by David Tennenbaum, has a history of maintenance challenges and ongoing issues as of mid-2025. The property, constructed in 1900, is currently experiencing several unresolved issues, including an open door/window complaint from May 2025 and ongoing heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building since April 2025.

Multiple emergency maintenance requests from 2025 remain open, covering issues with doors, plumbing (sinks and basins), and wall conditions. The building has faced recurring infrastructure concerns, with complaints about elevator service, heating, and various plumbing issues being reported periodically over recent years. In addition to these ongoing maintenance concerns, the property has documented pest control challenges, particularly during 2024-2025, with rodent inspections showing mixed results, including periods of rat activity.

Past violations have included serious issues such as a building shaking complaint in early 2025, and an active ECB violation from 2020 regarding occupancy without a valid certificate of occupancy, which carries a penalty of $6,250. Historical records show regular inspections and permits for various maintenance work, though some past violations have been resolved, including multiple cases of deteriorated plaster and paint conditions in different apartments being corrected by 2024. The building's bedbug reporting for recent years shows no active infestations since 2021, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have indicated compliance.
