Augrented Insights Report for 141 West 131st Street

The three-story, four-unit building at 141 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Joseph Jemal, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2021. Most recently, in June 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing issues, particularly involving leaky faucets in the third-floor apartment. The building has a concerning pattern of plumbing-related issues, with two separate incidents reported in 2021 and 2022.

A comprehensive inspection in December 2023 revealed several significant violations, including problems with the sprinkler system, self-closing doors, and standing water with raw sewage in the cellar area. Fortunately, all violations recorded have been officially closed, with certification dates ranging from December 2023 to June 2024. The building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug management, with no reported infestations in any of the five consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024.

Additionally, regular rodent inspections (2017-2025) have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. A recent complaint regarding "Work Without a Permit" from June 2024 was investigated and found to warrant no violation. While the building's overall housing maintenance record shows prompt responses to service requests and violations, the June 2024 cluster of emergency complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and safety equipment that may warrant attention. However, it is notable that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has typically closed complaints without issuing violations, indicating either successful remediation or verification of conditions, though access issues were encountered in one instance.
