Augrented Insights Report for 171 Morningside Avenue

The five-story, 10-unit residential building at 171 Morningside Avenue in Harlem, owned by Chad Jewell and built in 1901, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with three separate complaints in December 2024 and multiple complaints between June 2023 and December 2023. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has issued violations regarding inadequate heat and hot water in multiple apartments, including a currently open violation for inadequate heat in Apartment 2B and inadequate hot water in Apartment 3A as of December 2024. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including pest issues, water leaks, and plumbing problems, with multiple complaints logged in 2024.

More recent inspections in May 2025 resulted in multiple non-emergency violations related to painting, flooring, and window conditions, as well as emergency violations concerning mold and smoke detector issues. The building has several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to failure to file required low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2023. However, records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations during any of the annual filing periods.

Rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have generally shown passing results, with some indicating rat activity, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building experienced a notable period of proactive response to heating issues earlier in 2023, with some conditions being verified and corrected, though many complaints resulted in closed cases due to lack of access for inspection. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly regarding its heating system and various infrastructure elements.
