Augrented Insights Report for 202 West 140th Street

202 West 140th Street is a 6-story, 29-unit residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by James Simari. The Harlem tenement has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three such incidents reported in 2023, 2022, and 2020, despite some cases resolving promptly and others resulting in HPD violations. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, including unauthorized modifications in 2020-2021 involving illegal duplex creation in Apartment 1C/Cellar, which generated multiple Department of Buildings violations and ECB tickets totaling $1,250 in penalties.

The property has also experienced sanitation concerns, with complaints about pests and garbage storage in 2021, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. Recent inspections and records show that while the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2024-2025, there have been previous instances of rat activity noted in 2023 and 2020. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2021-2024, suggesting effective pest management.

A cluster of building code violations was identified in June 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors leading to the cellar, and one open violation related to an unauthorized electromagnetic locking device at the first-story vestibule door. Historical maintenance issues include a 2020 violation for inadequate building entrance security during power outages and a 2023 violation for excessively hot water temperatures in Apartment 1D. The building's heating system remains a recurring concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2018 and 2023, though recent inspections have shown some improvement in response times and resolution.
