Augrented Insights Report for 156 West 128th Street

The 2-unit, 3-story building at 156 West 128th Street in Harlem, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Ingrid Lopez, has experienced persistent pest control issues in recent years. The property has documented multiple pest-related complaints, including two active violations as of July 2024 concerning rat infestations in the front area and debris accumulation, following a pattern of rat activity inspections throughout 2024, despite some inspections passing.

The building has demonstrated ongoing challenges with sanitation and waste management, evidenced by several HPD violation notices related to garbage/recycling storage. The property has a significant history of compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code, including multiple active violations focusing on bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and various Department of Buildings (DOB) problems including construction-related concerns in early 2023. Recent DOB violations (2023-2024) indicate non-compliance with external low pressure inspection requirements for multiple years, with active penalties totaling over $125,000.

While some complaints regarding construction work, adjacent building protection, and stop work orders have been filed, most were dismissed upon inspection. Two notable citations remain active: one from 2023 concerning unauthorized construction work with associated penalties, and another from 2022 regarding non-compliance with a commissioner's order. The building's permit history shows consistent documentation through 2020-2023, indicating ongoing management of building regulations.
