Augrented Insights Report for 148 West 136th Street

The 3-story, 8-unit building at 148 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by Melvin Galloway and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. As of April 2025, there are active violations regarding unsanitary garbage storage conditions and multiple outstanding annual low-pressure inspections dating back to 2018.

The building has a concerning history of rodent-related issues, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvement, with the latest compliance inspection passing. Notably, there has been consistent documentation regarding bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024. The property has faced numerous building maintenance challenges, including an open violation regarding a broken basement window from 2023, and multiple construction-related issues with fines associated with construction fence maintenance and permit violations in 2020-2023.

A significant number of complaints between 2020-2022 related to work contrary to stop work orders were filed, though many were unsubstantiated upon inspection. The building's recent history shows some improvement in pest management compliance, with most rodent inspections passing, though a notable failed inspection in May 2025 was recorded. The current owner has open violations requiring attention, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and low-pressure system maintenance.
