Augrented Insights Report for 106 West 144th Street

This 15-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 106 West 144th Street in Harlem, owned by Rick Gropper and built in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and plumbing systems, as well as pest management challenges. Most notably, there have been multiple heating hot water complaints in 2025 (January, February, and May), showing a persistent issue with the building's heating system, though some were marked as resolved.

The building has also faced plumbing problems in early 2025, with sink and toilet issues reported and subsequently addressed. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented, with inspections showing repeated rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed compliance. There were multiple door-related violations noted in 2024-2025, including issues with self-closing doors and locks, particularly at the vestibule door of the first story.

The building faced air quality concerns in late 2024, which required management attention. Recent maintenance requests from June 2025 have been logged for issues including ceiling plaster, water leaks, and intercom systems, though these are classified as non-emergency. While the building has a recent history of various maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, based on available records.
