Augrented Insights Report for 238 West 112th Street

238 West 112th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story old law tenement building in Harlem, built in 1890 and currently owned by Aster Johnson. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between 2018-2021 regarding these services affecting the entire building. More recent complaints in 2023-2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including pest infestations, safety concerns, and water supply issues.

Several violations remain active as of 2024, including failure to file 2022-2023 external low pressure inspections, and additional violations from 2020 related to occupancy discrepancies and unauthorized work in Apartment 2E. The property has undergone various inspections and investigations over the past five years, with documented rodent and pest control efforts showing mixed results. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 passed, previous inspections in 2024 failed for other reasons.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with building systems and safety features, including problems with doors, windows, and plumbing. Notably, there are recurring violations related to illegal occupancy and unauthorized modifications, particularly concerning Apartment 2E, which has been cited for multiple violations including illegal conversions, unauthorized work, and occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy records. Despite these challenges, the building's recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show zero infested units, indicating successful pest management in this regard.
