Augrented Insights Report for 118 West 139th Street

Located in Harlem, 118 West 139th Street is a ten-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1910 and owned by Matthew Rooney. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about heating and water systems, with multiple reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in late 2024, and continuing electrical range issues in late 2024 and early 2025.

Plumbing problems have been a recurring theme, with multiple toilet and sink issues reported between 2023-2024, including an emergency plumbing complaint from June 2025. The building has faced several significant maintenance violations, including open lead paint hazards in Apartment 2W (2024), while Apartment 4W (2023) had multiple violations related to water damage, plumbing issues, and pest infestations. The property has also experienced mechanical system challenges, including a boiler violation related to backflow prevention in 2024 that resulted in a $625 penalty.

While there have been multiple rodent activity reports between 2022-2024, recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed improved conditions with "Passed" results. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved access issues during inspections, particularly in 2024-2025, which has complicated resolution of various complaints. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting, showing zero cases since 2019, and recent rodent inspections have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
