Augrented Insights Report for 103 West 120th Street

103 West 120th Street is a 6-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Stanley Ruddock. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints (as of March 2025) involving plumbing problems with sinks/basins, wall paint issues, and flooring concerns, all of which remain unresolved. In December 2024, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though some of these were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has an open violation from July 2024 regarding heat and hot water supply issues in Apartment 205, which has multiple documented maintenance problems including defective light fixtures, plumbing issues, and painting requirements. The property has faced significant challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance in recent years. There are several active ECB violations from 2023-2024 concerning failure to file required inspections and submit necessary documentation related to exterior walls and appurtenances, with associated penalties.

The elevator system has generated multiple complaints, including an active complaint as of January 2025 regarding lack of alternate service. The building experienced a rat activity period in 2024, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. Recent inspections have revealed issues with scaffolding safety, though violations were not warranted upon inspection. The property has a history of undeniably persistent violations, with multiple outstanding ECB violations and a pattern of non-compliance regarding immediately hazardous conditions.
