Augrented Insights Report for 149 East 121st Street

149 East 121st Street is a 5-story, 5-unit old law tenement building in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ramon Escobar. The most pressing current issues include three open housing complaints from 2025 involving door/window problems and inadequate lighting, along with an active Environmental Control Board violation from August 2024 regarding improper hot water conditions in Apartment 4.

The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple related complaints filed between February and March 2025, though some were subsequently closed after systems were reportedly restored. Violations from 2024 indicate several maintenance concerns, particularly in Apartment 4, including issues with doors, bathroom fixtures, and visible mold, along with a critical violation regarding access to the building's heating system.

Recent building inspections have shown passing results for rodent activity, though there were several bait applications in mid-2023 indicating previous rodent presence. The building has maintained a "0" count for bedbug reports in the last monitoring period from December 2023. While some historical complaints from 2021 and various routine inspections have been resolved, the current pattern of open and recent violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
