Augrented Insights Report for 271 West 140th Street

The 20-unit building at 271 West 140th Street in Harlem, owned by Alma Perkins, is a 5-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1926. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and pest problems over the past several years.

Most recently, in December 2022, there was a heating outage that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though heat and hot water were reportedly restored. Between March-April 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, with HPD inspections conducted, showing some variances in violations issuance. The building currently has several open violations from 2024 that warrant attention: Apartment 2D has missing or defective window guards, and there are outstanding lead paint hazard compliance issues affecting apartments 4C, 5B, and 5D.

Additionally, a March 2024 inspection revealed violations regarding notification and documentation requirements for lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 2B, which currently remains open. The building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections from 2019 through 2025, and the most recent bedbug report from May 2024 shows zero infested units during the reporting period. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, as evidenced by closed violations for various apartments, the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 indicates ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding lead paint safety requirements and window safety features.
