Augrented Insights Report for 171 West 131st Street

171 West 131st Street is an 8-story, 116-unit residential building in Harlem, completed in 2013 and currently owned by Helen Mavromoustakos. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in 2025-2022 reporting these problems in different portions of the building. Multiple water-related issues have also been reported, including a heavy flow leak and a slow leak in 2024, with associated violations issued in June 2024 for improper repairs and plaster conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 402's bathroom.

The building has open violations from the 2024 inspections regarding unauthorized storage of items in electrical and telephone rooms on multiple floors, as well as an open 2025 complaint about missing signage. The property has a generally positive pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, though there was one documented case in 2019. Rodent inspections show mostly passing results from 2013 to 2021, with one instance of rat activity noted in 2021.

The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple emergency repairs and work permits issued between 2018-2022, though there was a pattern of access issues during inspections in 2024-2021. A series of violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings were issued in 2022-2023, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's recent housing maintenance code complaints show a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint in May 2025 indicating a temporary interruption of service that was quickly resolved.
