Augrented Insights Report for 521 West 122nd Street

The six-story, 32-unit New Law Tenement at 521 West 122nd Street in Morningside Heights, owned by Jason Goldberg, has experienced several notable infrastructure challenges in recent years. Most concerning was a pattern of heat and hot water issues in February 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for building-wide outages that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. More recently, in June 2025, there were complaints regarding drinking water quality and various maintenance issues including electrical problems and plumbing concerns, though health authorities found no violations in the water quality investigation.

Apartment 31 was the focus of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in mid-2024, primarily related to defective plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and missing safety devices, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by July 2024. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2024 regarding service and maintenance issues, though inspections typically found no warrantable violations. An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in 2024 regarding vibration and noise from machinery, with a fine imposed.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all passing since 2022, though there were documented rat activity issues in mid-2021. Bedbug inspections have shown periods of infestation between 2019-2022, though more recent filings in 2023-2024 reported no ongoing issues. The building's maintenance record shows some local and state enforcement interaction, with the most recent Department of Buildings violation in 2024 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements, though this was ultimately dismissed.
