Augrented Insights Report for 142 West 143rd Street

The Harriet Tubman Apartments at 142 West 143rd Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by WHGA Harriet Tubman Apartments L.P. The building has experienced persistent heating and pest control issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water in March 2025, as well as rodent activity noted in June 2025.

A significant number of heating and hot water complaints were filed between late 2024 and early 2025, with several violations relating to scalding hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in apartments 3A, 3B, 5C, and 6A, along with inadequate heat supply issues in various units. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations documented between 2019 and 2024 regarding its sole device and alternate service availability, resulting in active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $9,375.

The property has faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 showing rat activity in July 2024, September 2024, and most recently in June 2025. While the building has appropriately reported no bedbug infestations in the past five years, the ongoing issues with heating, elevator service, and rodent activity suggest persistent maintenance challenges. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have resulted in findings of rat activity, with follow-up inspections scheduled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
