Augrented Insights Report for 257 West 122nd Street

257 West 122nd Street is a five-story, 10-unit Harlem tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Nicola Deacetis. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in May 2025 revealing various issues including wall paint/plaster conditions (with violations issued), window frame problems, and electrical lighting concerns. Earlier inspections from late 2024 had identified significant issues in apartments 1B and 2A, including mold (both less than and greater than 10 square feet), defective bathroom caulking, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, including a high-temperature hot water violation cited in November 2024 affecting apartment 5A. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of structural and safety concerns requiring attention. Between 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of rodent activity, though inspections in July 2025 passed without issues.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019, and passed a July 2025 rodent inspection. While some previous violations have been resolved, such as a 2023 violation regarding external low-pressure inspection filing, the building continues to generate new complaints requiring investigation, particularly concerning paint conditions, mold, and various maintenance issues. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older tenement buildings in New York City, with recent inspections indicating persistent issues requiring attention and documentation of violations.
