Augrented Insights Report for 201 West 121st Street

The 21-unit, 6-story residential building at 201 West 121st Street in Harlem, owned by Hawatha Selby, has experienced recurring issues with inadequate heat and hot water throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and March 2025. While some violations were addressed, including the repair of heat and hot water systems, inspections often encountered access issues.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including concerns about pest control (particularly roaches in apartments 1C and 5C), and multiple housing maintenance code violations in apartment 2D related to kitchen cabinet and baseboard repairs. The elevator system has been a point of attention, with multiple complaints regarding inadequate alternate service between 2021-2024, though inspections did not find violations at the time. Recent inspections have noted rat activity in May and June 2025, following a series of passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, indicating potential ongoing pest management challenges.

The building has several active ECB violations as of 2024-2025, including issues with window AC support brackets and unsafe electrical equipment in the boiler room. While the building successfully submitted bedbug reports for 2022-2023 showing no infestations, the facility has demonstrated recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, elevator service, and maintenance compliance. Tenants should note the pattern of heat and hot water complaints, often requiring multiple reports to achieve resolution, and be aware of the building's varying success rate in maintaining elevator service continuity and pest control measures.
