Augrented Insights Report for 143 West 140th Street

143 West 140th Street is a 55-unit, 7-story New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Kenneth Morrison. The building has been facing persistent maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2025 with multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pests, along with plumbing issues and problems with flooring.

An inspection in December 2024 of apartment 5E revealed several violations including pest infestations, plumbing problems, and damaged cabinets, which remain open. The building's infrastructure has also shown concerning patterns, with rodent activity consistently noted in 2025 inspections, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 marked non-compliance with rat activity. Additionally, there are recurring issues with the single elevator device, as shown by multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025.

The property has significant exterior maintenance violations as recorded by the Environmental Control Board, with open violations from 2023-2024 regarding damaged window sills, facade maintenance, and safety concerns. There are also outstanding violations related to the building's energy efficiency compliance, with penalties totaling over $31,250 for various failures to maintain building codes and submit required reports. Despite some maintenance efforts, including the issuance of a permit in 2018, the building's current condition reflects ongoing challenges with building systems, pest control, and facade maintenance that have persisted over the years.
