Augrented Insights Report for 618 West 136th Street

The 28-unit, 5-story tenement at 618 West 136th Street in Hamilton Heights, built in 1905 and currently owned by Edwin Shiraz, has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in recent years. The building has ongoing water-related concerns, with two emergency water leak complaints related to heavy flow reported and addressed in June 2025, and multiple water leak complaints (including slow and damp spots) documented between 2024-2025. Recent violations include unsanitary conditions related to mold (June 2025) and an ongoing rodent infestation problem, as evidenced by multiple rodent activity inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, though recent bait application suggests attempts at remediation.

The building has also faced significant structural and maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 3B, including open violations from December 2024 regarding floor tile repairs, kitchen cabinet issues, and active pest infestation. Other notable concerns include posed safety hazards with improper door hardware and security concerns, as well as multiple complaints about building egress issues between 2023-2024. The property is currently facing several active violations with the Environmental Control Board (ECB), including unpermitted modifications to both the cellar and apartment 2B, with associated penalties totaling over $5,000.

Recent building maintenance history shows a pattern of moisture-related problems, including multiple paint/plaster and water-related complaints. Inspection attempts for various complaints throughout 2024-2025 were often unable to be completed, suggesting access issues for regulatory authorities. The building has shown consistent evidence of maintenance challenges that impact resident quality of life, particularly regarding water damage, pest control, and structural maintenance. The property's historical records also indicate past issues with plumbing work and occupancy concerns, though these may have been addressed through subsequent permits and inspections.
