Augrented Insights Report for 120 West 139th Street

120 West 139th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Matthew Rooney. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic services, particularly regarding heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2025 alone for lack of service affecting the entire building. Recent inspections and service requests from 2025 show ongoing maintenance concerns, including plumbing issues (toilet problems and water supply concerns), water leaks, and pest infestations.

The building has open violations from a November 2024 inspection affecting apartments 17 and 18, including issues with water leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and various repair needs. The building's history includes significant construction-related violations from 2018-2019, with multiple citations regarding safety conditions, including failure to provide proper guardrails and inadequate worker protection during construction. There have been multiple rat activity detections throughout 2023-2025, though as of June 2025, one inspection passed.

While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, the current open violations and recent service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical data shows various complaints regarding building maintenance and conditions from 2019-2022, though many were closed without finding violations. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to heating issues, as indicated by multiple complaints being resolved through verification of corrections, though concerns have persisted.
