Augrented Insights Report for 108 West 144th Street

108 West 144th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rick Gropper. The property has experienced significant and recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed via 311 between January and February 2025, including several building-wide outages that were documented as emergencies by HPD.

The building has also been cited for unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions in January 2025, and previously, in October 2024, the 3rd-floor apartment (3D) was found to have multiple violations including vermin infestation, water leaks, mold, and various maintenance issues that required attention. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding rodent control, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed.

Similar issues with building maintenance and management compliance were noted in previous years, including a 2019 ECB violation for a disrepair of the bulkhead door and water damage issues. While there was a documented bedbug infestation in two units in 2019-2020, subsequent annual reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no further infestations or re-infestations. The building's violation history shows a mix of Class A and B violations that have generally been resolved, though some issues, such as the aforementioned heat and hot water problems, indicate persistent maintenance challenges.
