Augrented Insights Report for 259 West 134th Street

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 259 West 134th Street in Harlem, owned by Curtis Willlis, has a long history dating back to 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has undergone several significant inspections and faced multiple violations over recent years.

Most notably, in 2020, there were serious violations related to unauthorized use of units (specifically regarding illegal hotel rooms), with fines totaling $7,500 for failure to maintain code-compliant fire systems, egress requirements, and sprinkler systems for transient use in Apartments #2 and #3. The building has also experienced recurring issues with rodent infestations, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have all returned passed results. The property has been subject to several housing maintenance code violations, with the most recent in 2024 involving defective self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule, classified as a Class C violation.

Between 2022 and 2024, multiple violations were recorded related to inadequate posting of critical safety information, including fire safety, carbon monoxide detection, and gas leak procedures, though most of these have since been addressed and closed. The building's bedbug reporting for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infestations occurred during this time. It's worth noting that despite the building's age and history of violations, recent inspections show improvement in compliance with rodent control measures and housing maintenance requirements.
