Augrented Insights Report for 243 East 120th Street

243 East 120th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Joseph Soleimani. Recent inspection records from 2023-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water issues, with multiple complaints about leaks, damp spots, and water-related problems recorded between October 2023 and January 2024. The building has experienced repeated heat and hot water supply issues, as evidenced by three emergency complaints in October-November 2023.

Multiple inspections and service requests in late 2023 documented unsanitary conditions including mold and pest issues, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building's maintenance history shows several significant violations and complaints over recent years, including an active ECB violation from October 2021 regarding ceiling and wall openings and a leaking boiler, and failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection in April 2023. While the building experienced one documented bedbug infestation in 2019-2020, recent filnags from 2020 to 2024 show zero infestations.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections in 2023-2025, though there was one failure in July 2023. Prior violations indicate various maintenance issues, including heating system access concerns, hot water supply problems, and multiple instances of mold and pest-related complaints. The building has undergone some repairs and maintenance, including the reglazing of bathroom fixtures in apartment 2R in 2023 and various other maintenance tasks documented through violation resolutions and permits.
