Augrented Insights Report for 257 West 134th Street

257 West 134th Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Mickael Ohana. The property has had consistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2022-2024 requiring annual bedbug report filings as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements. The building underwent significant construction work in 2018-2020, during which multiple serious violations were documented, including unpermitted work, inadequate safety measures, and failure to protect adjacent properties.

These violations resulted in substantial penalties, with several currently remaining active, including a $25,000 violation for filing false statements and a $6,250 violation for work without proper permits. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2023 showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent control requirements since 2024, passing initial inspections in February 2024 and August 2025.

Several Department of Buildings inspections and complaints have been recorded over the years, including a construction-related stop work order in 2018, and multiple ECB violations for various construction-related issues. While some violations from 2018-2020 have been resolved, others remain active, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of construction-related violations, safety concerns, and pest control issues, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions in some areas, particularly rodent control.
