Augrented Insights Report for 421 West 118th Street

421 West 118th Street is a 24-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by ServiceRep HRManServiceCenter and located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant concerns relating to its exterior facade. In 2021, three Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding the building's exterior maintenance, including spalled terracotta water tables, missing mortar joints, and problems with rust on the fire escape, with penalties totaling $4,750.

More recently, a violation was recorded in February 2024 for failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by the deadline, which remains active as of 2025. The building has a documented history of maintenance responsiveness, including two notable service requests regarding power outages in 2021 and porch/balcony issues in 2024, though in both cases no violations were found upon inspection. A peculiar pattern emerged in 2021 and 2024 where violations were issued for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though the building has consistently reported zero infested units in its subsequent filings.

The property has maintained a strong record of rodent inspections, consistently passing all inspections from 2016 through 2025. Multiple permits were issued in 2019 for various work types including electrical and plumbing, indicating regular maintenance and improvement activities. While the building has faced periods of violations and service requests, particularly regarding its exterior maintenance and reporting requirements, it has shown a pattern of addressing issues once brought to attention, and recent inspections suggest improved compliance with health and safety requirements.
