Augrented Insights Report for 249 West 135th Street

This 5-story, 20-unit converted Class A residential building in Harlem, owned by New Parque Inc and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing current concern is an asbestos-related issue reported in May 2025. The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2022, including an entire building outage in January 2022.

More recently, there have been recurring electrical issues, including a lighting outage reported in August 2024, which HPD was unable to investigate due to access issues. The property has faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity and requiring bait application. Several serious violations were recorded in 2020 regarding pest infestations (roaches and mice) in apartment 5B, alongside multiple repair needs including bathroom ventilation and tub issues.

The building currently has active violations from 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020-2022. While past bedbug issues were documented in 2019-2020, subsequent annual filings through 2024 show no infestations. Recent inspections have generally been passed, though a March 2025 compliance inspection noted that it failed for "Other Reasons." The building has shown some improvement in pest management, as evidenced by the lack of bedbug reports in recent years and the implementation of baiting procedures for rodent control. However, the presence of active violations and recurring service requests indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
