Augrented Insights Report for 131 West 135th Street

131 West 135th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building located in Harlem, NY, and owned by Melania Cinque. The building, constructed in 1910, has faced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably with the heating and hot water systems, which have generated multiple emergency complaints and violations. In 2024 and 2025 alone, there were three documented incidents involving inadequate heat and hot water, including one affecting the entire building.

Other significant issues include a 2024 violation regarding lead-based paint hazards in apartment 6D, problems with window guards, and an active 2025 complaint about elevator service continuity. The building has experienced persistent pest control challenges, with documented reports of roach infestations in 2024 and 2023. While the property has generally passed regular rodent inspections conducted throughout 2022-2025, it was noted to have issues with unsanitary conditions and mold in 2022, along with multiple plumbing and electrical concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system failures, with four heating-related complaints between 2022 and 2025.

Earlier issues from 2024 also indicated problems with the intercom system and various plumbing fixtures. Structural concerns were briefly noted in 2022 regarding building stability, though these complaints were ultimately dismissed after inspection. The elevator system has been a recurring point of concern, with complaints recorded in 2018, 2021, and most recently in 2025, supported by associated Environmental Control Board violations. A bedbug reporting process has shown no infested units between 2022 and 2024, and multiple permits for various maintenance work have been issued between 2019 and 2021, indicating ongoing efforts to address building systems and maintenance needs.
