Augrented Insights Report for 19 West 137th Street

19 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Malcolm Punter. The property has faced ongoing pest control challenges, with recent rat activity confirmed through multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025, including several bait applications between February and May 2024. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple violations noted, including problems with doors/windows, flooring, and safety systems.

A substantial cluster of violations was recorded in February 2024 in apartment 5C, including missing smoke detectors, exposed electrical wiring, damaged floor tiles, and issues with kitchen and bathroom fixtures. The building has a history of egress concerns, with violations documented in 2019 and 2023 regarding blocked or improperly functioning exit pathways. More recent inspections in mid-2024 through 2025 have shown continued rodent activity, despite multiple bait application efforts.

Notable structural issues were documented in 2024 inspections, including problems with the building's entrance doors and windows. The property also has an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding an unfiled low pressure inspection. While the building underwent some improvements during 2023-2024, including the resolution of several violations, many infractions remain open as of the latest inspection dates, particularly those concerning apartment 5C's systems and interior features. The building's bedbug history shows limited recent infestations, with only two reported infested units in the most recent 2024 filing period, though previous years showed complete eradication in all units.
