Augrented Insights Report for 45 West 139th Street

The 16-story, 256-unit building at 45 West 139th Street in Harlem, owned by Shelly Hair and constructed in 1959, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of July 2025, there are multiple open and recently addressed issues, including plumbing problems, electrical violations, and pest infestations. Notably, there are outstanding violations related to mold, wall and ceiling plaster issues, and several general maintenance concerns filed in June 2025.

The building has a documented history of infrastructure problems, including recurring elevator maintenance issues with multiple complaints recorded in 2023-2024, a facade safety notification from 2023, and multiple floor and wall maintenance violations. The property has faced periodic pest control challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in previous years, though recent filings show reduced activity with no active infestations reported between 2023-2024. Rodent activity inspections between 2023-2025 show mixed results, with some passing inspections but also noting rat activity in several instances. The building's recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.

There are multiple open violations as of June 2025 related to water leaks, electrical issues, and various maintenance concerns including problems with cabinets, intercom systems, and flooring. Historical records show a pattern of infrastructure and safety concerns, including multiple violation notices for failing to maintain elevator systems, inadequate building security features, and various environmental control board violations. The property has also accumulated several active violations related to facade maintenance and safety inspections, with penalties totaling over $4,000. While some past issues have been resolved, such as a previous infestation problem in apartment 8L in 2024, the current state of open violations and recent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
