Augrented Insights Report for 439 West 126th Street

The six-story New Law tenement building at 439 West 126th Street in Harlem, owned by Peter Murray, has faced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. Most notably, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints in November 2024, and several similar issues were documented in 2023.

The building has also experienced recurrent pest problems, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests recorded in July 2024, along with consistent rodent activity as indicated by inspection results from late 2023 through 2025. Units 3B and 5A have been the focus of multiple violations and complaints.

Apartment 3B has documented issues with bathroom tile repair and a roach infestation (both violations closed in late 2024), while apartment 5A has several open violations from March 2024, including water leak repairs, painting requirements, and issues with doors and windows. The building's maintenance history also shows a mix of resolved and ongoing environmental concerns, with multiple housing maintenance code violations related to various systems and infrastructure needing attention. Interestingly, the building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 indicate no infestations have been documented, though the property has faced ongoing challenges with rat activity, as evidenced by inspection results showing both "Passed" and "Failed for Other Reasons" outcomes between 2023 and 2025.
