Augrented Insights Report for 251 West 136th Street

This three-story, 6-unit building at 251 West 136th Street in Harlem, managed by Henry Devault and built in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, most notably in the areas of water damage and mold problems. In recent months, there have been multiple complaints about water leaks and damp spots, with HPD inspectors unable to gain access during several inspection attempts.

The building has documented violations related to hot water and heating system failures in January 2025, and multiple emergency service requests regarding mold and water issues in March and May 2025. The property has an active list of open violations from a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 1, including issues with water leaks affecting both the hallway and bathroom ceilings, defective light fixtures, problems with plastered surfaces, and non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Building-wide concerns include five active violations for failure to file Low Pressure Inspection reports between 2018-2021 (as of June 2023), and recent complaints regarding wall conditions documented as bulging/cracked in 2025. While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2022-2025 and shows no documented issues with bedbugs since 2020, the recurring pattern of water-related complaints and inspection access issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
