Augrented Insights Report for 233 West 137th Street

233 West 137th Street in Harlem is a 5-story, former class A building with 5 units, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Oren Vadas. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2019 and 2023 when both emergency and non-emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of service throughout the building.

During 2019, significant concerns were raised about unauthorized modifications, including illegal conversion from a duplex to a triplex with cellar modifications, along with violations relating to heating system access and hot water availability, though some of these violations remain open as of 2025. The property has also faced challenges with rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued presence of rats.

While there have been regular building inspections, including bedbug reporting requirements that are now in compliance, the property currently has active violations regarding the failure to file 2019 and 2020 external low-pressure inspections as of June 2023. Multiple permits have been issued from 2018 to 2019 for various work on the building, though specific details about these permits are not provided in the data. This combination of ongoing infrastructure issues, including heating and pest control problems, and multiple open violations suggests maintenance challenges within the building.
