Augrented Insights Report for 143 West 138th Street

143 West 138th Street is a 5-story old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Samuel D. Proctor HDFC, and has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years.

Most notably, the building has undergone multiple rodent-related incidents from 2023 through 2025, with inspections consistently showing rat activity and several instances of bait application, though one inspection in 2024 did pass. The building has also faced significant violations requiring attention, including active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2022-2024 related to bathroom facilities, fire safety, and structural concerns, with penalties totaling over $12,000 for various issues such as cracked walls, problematic doors, and unauthorized construction work.

Four bedbug violation notices filed with the Department of Buildings from 2019-2024 indicate ongoing pest management challenges, though the 2021-2022 bedbug reports show zero infested units. The property has a documented history of heating and hot water system failures, with multiple emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints recorded between 2019-2023, suggesting persistent basic service maintenance issues. More recently, the building has faced non-compliance issues regarding energy efficiency reporting, with multiple violations from 2023-2024 for failing to file required benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores.
