Augrented Insights Report for 243 West 116th Street

The 6-story, 16-unit tenement building at 243 West 116th Street in Harlem, owned by Yida Stern and built in 1910, is currently experiencing several significant maintenance and safety issues as of 2025. Most notably, the building suffered a serious 2-alarm fire on March 14, 2025, which caused structural damage to the 2nd and 3rd floors, affecting floor joists and requiring temporary shoring installation. The building is also under ongoing monitoring for structural stability following this incident, with multiple associated violations currently active.

There have been repeated issues with heat and hot water throughout the building, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints and inspection attempts indicating access issues for verification. The building has been dealing with persistent rodent problems, as evidenced by multiple rat activity reports and baiting interventions between late 2024 and mid-2025. Apartment 4B has multiple open and resolved violations regarding interior conditions, including issues with base cabinets, bathroom fixtures, floor tiles, and evidence of roach infestation. The building's recent history shows recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including garbage and recycling storage issues noted in March 2025, which were unable to be inspected due to access problems.

There are also active violations related to building maintenance, including missing support brackets for window AC units on multiple floors, as documented in 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three years, with no reported cases between 2020-2025. While the building has received various service requests and inspections related to heating systems, pest control, and other maintenance matters, the consistent pattern of access issues during inspections raises questions about verification of reported conditions. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 continue to show active rat activity, despite repeated bait application efforts.
