Augrented Insights Report for 303 West 117th Street

303 West 117th Street is a 5-story, 37-unit Old Law Tenement building in Harlem, owned by Eight-17 Associates LP and constructed in 1901. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in 2025, particularly with water leaks, including both heavy and slow leaks reported in June 2025, with violations issued and inspections conducted. There are also ongoing concerns about garbage/recycling storage, with one open unsanitary condition complaint from May 2025.

The building has faced various challenges regarding basic services, including heat and hot water issues earlier in 2025, both for the entire building and individual apartments. Recent rodent activity has been documented in inspections from April and June 2025. The building's history reveals more serious safety concerns, including a notable failed inspection in 2021 regarding the second means of egress being obstructed, which was classified as an unsafe condition.

Elevator service has been a persistent issue, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service, including active complaints from June 2025. The property has undergone significant inspection activity, with various violations documented, including a 2024 violation for failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection records. In 2021, there was a failure to comply with a vacate order related to apartment 5B, which had multiple violations regarding maintenance issues such as broken plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and window conditions. While bedbug infestations appear to have been managed based on the reports from 2021-2023 showing no infested units, the building continues to experience various maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
