Augrented Insights Report for 421 West 119th Street

421 West 119th Street is a 9-story, 80-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by the Trustees of Columbia University. The building has experienced recurring issues with gas supply and electrical systems over recent years. Between 2019 and 2021, multiple complaints and violations were recorded regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen ranges in apartments 1C and 3F, with emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

More recently, in 2023, serious electrical safety concerns were documented, with active violations for exposed live wires in the basement leading to an $800 penalty. This follows a similar electrical wiring complaint from 2021. The building has undergone several inspections and permit issuances related to electrical work between 2019 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance or upgrade efforts.

Reports from 2021-2024 show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations documented in any units. The property has maintained good standing with rodent inspections, consistently passing all checks from 2017 through 2025. While there were facade maintenance violations noted in 2019 and 2020 regarding cracks and deterioration on the south elevation, these were resolved. The building's most recent bedbug report from 2024 and rodent inspections indicate improved pest management practices, though the building still requires attention to its electrical infrastructure as evidenced by the active ECB violation from 2023.
