Augrented Insights Report for 34 West 139th Street

34 West 139th Street, an 8-story, 125-unit Class A apartment building in Harlem owned by Jay Newhouse, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, particularly with heating and hot water systems. The building has documented multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2025, with the most recent service request in June 2025 being closed due to lack of access for inspection.

There are also ongoing concerns about unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage issues (as evidenced by multiple complaints between April and June 2025) and a currently open mold complaint from May 2025. Several apartments have reported specific maintenance issues, including violations related to doors/windows, electrical lighting, and sanitation. The building's heating system has been a recurring source of problems, with multiple boiler-related complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, including two defective/inoperative boiler complaints in February 2025.

The elevator system has also required attention, with multiple complaints about devices and shutdowns recorded between 2023 and 2024, including a Class 2 violation issued in June 2024 regarding an out-of-service device with a $310 penalty. While the building has maintained a relatively clean record in recent rodent inspections (passing all inspections from 2021 to 2025), there have been documented periods of bedbug activity, with one reported infestation in 2022-2023 and none reported in the most recent 2023-2024 period. The property has shown some improvement in compliance with housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by the closure of several violations from 2020 and 2024, though issues persist in 2025.
