Augrented Insights Report for 148 West 142nd Street

The six-story New Law Tenement building at 148 West 142nd Street in Harlem, owned by Shaul Koplowitz, has a significant number of concerning maintenance issues recorded between 2025 and 2020. The most recent complaints in mid-2025 reveal persistent plumbing problems, including issues with basins/sinks, bathtubs/showers, and water leaks. In 2024-2025, violations were noted for unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, and there were multiple plumbing-related violations from April 2025 alone. The building previously faced major infrastructure challenges, with multiple emergency complaints in 2025 about heavy water flow, plumbing systems, and paint/plaster issues.

Three rodent activity inspections in 2025 showed ongoing pest problems, following similar issues in 2024. Earlier records from 2022-2020 indicate more serious safety concerns, including elevator service violations (with one resulting in a penalty), building shaking concerns, and multiple health code violations regarding window safety and apartment conditions. The Department of Buildings' history shows several significant compliance issues, including complaints about construction work, gas piping concerns, and various maintenance violations through 2020. Notably, there were multiple elevator-related complaints between 2020 and 2024, and structural concerns including visible hairline cracks and possible fire safety issues were documented.

The building underwent renovation work in 2019, with multiple permits issued for various repairs and improvements, though there were subsequent violations regarding the work. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2019-2025), the ongoing plumbing, pest control, and maintenance issues suggest a building facing persistent management challenges. The property's housing inspection record over recent years indicates a pattern of delayed maintenance resolution, with multiple violations requiring correction under housing law. The most recent violations from 2024-2025 have received attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some resulting in corrections while others remain active requirements for the property owner to address.
