Augrented Insights Report for 3 West 137th Street

3 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jay Newhouse. The property has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water, particularly in early 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide failures.

These issues resulted in HPD violations, though some complaints were closed after heat and hot water were reportedly restored during inspections. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple unsanitary condition complaints in 2024-2025, including a notable situation in December 2024 involving Bedbugs, though subsequent reports from 2022-2024 show no confirmed infestations. The property underwent significant scrutiny regarding building maintenance and safety measures, particularly during 2021-2023, with multiple violations related to facade maintenance and safety requirements.

This includes three active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2022-2023, and historical violations for issues such as mold, water leaks, and window guard deficiencies in Apartment 2C. The building's recent history shows fluctuating rodent activity, with inspections in 2024-2025 yielding both failed and passed results. In terms of maintenance and repair history, the building has seen regular enforcement actions, with multiple HPD inspections resulting in violations, though many of these have been closed after repairs were reportedly completed, including violations related to water damage, mold, and various apartment-specific issues.
