Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

622 West 136th Street is a 5-story, 17-unit residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Columbia Heights 136 LLC. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple complaints to HPD between 2024 and 2025, including three complaints in 2025 alone. These heating problems appear to coincide with a documented boiler violation from December 2023, which resulted in a $3,125 penalty for inadequate access for inspection, and an active environmental control board violation related to heating system access requirements. The property has documented rat activity throughout 2024-2025, with several inspections confirming the presence of rodents and requiring bait application.

The building has undergone various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing and sanitation. Recent housing maintenance code complaints from June 2025 identified multiple issues, including unsanitary conditions, mold, carbon monoxide detector problems, and various repair needs. Historical data shows repeated boiler-related complaints between 2019-2023, with some resulting in Oath Violations. Apartment-specific violations have been recorded, including lead paint hazards in Apartment 2 (July 2024) and pest infestations in Apartment 3 (August 2024), though many violations from previous years have been closed out. The building has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation record across its last three reporting periods (2019-2022). While the property has received some permits for work (e.g., in 2018), the ongoing nature of heat, pest, and maintenance issues suggests persistent management challenges.
