Augrented Insights Report for 215 West 134th Street

The three-story, seven-unit building at 215 West 134th Street in Harlem, owned by Guowei Jin and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple HPD complaints regarding ceiling plaster, plumbing, mold, and water leaks. Specifically, between January and February 2025, there were six separate complaints requiring inspection that HPD was unable to complete, including issues with walls, ceilings, sinks, and mold.

The building has an open Class C violation from June 2024 concerning rodent and roach infestations in apartment 3R, and several previous violations related to safety equipment, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which were resolved in March 2023. The property has a history of inspection access issues, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2020 and 2024 showing inspectors unable to gain access on multiple occasions, including concerns about building vibrations in July 2023 and work without permits in August 2023.

During 2020, there were several tenant protection plan violations related to construction work that resulted in fines, though these appeared to be resolved. Despite these ongoing issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2018, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in February 2025. The bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 indicate no infestations during those periods, suggesting effective management of this particular issue.
