Augrented Insights Report for 117 West 116th Street

117 West 116th Street is a 6-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Scott Castellano. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed during this period, including two entire-building heat/hot water complaints in June 2025, and several similar issues in April and June 2024. These problems have often resulted in failed HPD inspections, though some complaints were ultimately resolved or confirmed corrected.

The building has also faced challenges with water leaks, as evidenced by a June 2024 complaint that resulted in an inspection. Recent building maintenance and safety matters have included various violations and repairs, notably a June 2024 inspection that revealed inadequate hot water in Apartment 2B and several B-class violations related to damaged public space infrastructure, including broken granite treads on multiple stairways and defective marble floor tiles in the public hall. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2023-2025, with initial inspections in 2023 showing evidence of rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2024 have passed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2020-2024, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings.

Two recent Local Law Audit inspections in 2020 and 2021 were completed with compliance confirmations. The property has also had multiple complaints regarding mobile food vendors in the vicinity, with the most recent in April 2025, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The building's inspection and violation history indicates ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly regarding heat and hot water, which appear to be the most significant recurring issue affecting resident comfort. While the property has generally passed various inspections and maintains a pest-free record for bedbugs, the persistent nature of the heating system complaints suggests this remains a critical area requiring attention.
