Augrented Insights Report for 523 West 134th Street

523 West 134th Street is a 25-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Harlem and owned by Salvatore Davola. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two emergency complaints registered in January 2025 - one affecting the entire building and another for a specific apartment. These incidents followed a pattern of heating system concerns, as evidenced by similar complaints in previous years.

The building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, including two open violations from December 2024 requiring proper posting of housing information guides and inspection certificates in the first-floor public hall. Security issues were prominent in 2021-2022, with multiple complaints about the building being vacant, open, and unguarded, resulting in Oath Violations. Recent inspections in 2024 confirmed rodent control compliance, with all inspections passing the required standards. The property has a history of various infrastructural and maintenance violations, though many have been resolved.

These include problems with the building entrance door, which had a plywood replacement of a glass pane in November 2024 (resolved), and past debris accumulation issues that led to Environmental Control Board violations in 2021-2022. The building's heating and hot water systems seem to be particularly problematic, with multiple 311 complaints regarding inadequate service. There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and all recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have passed. A series of DOB violations related to external low pressure inspection filing from 2018-2024 were dismissed in May 2025, suggesting previous non-compliance with boiler inspection requirements has been addressed.
