Augrented Insights Report for 222 West 144th Street

The 25-unit, 6-story tenement at 222 West 144th Street in Harlem, owned by Joseph Zitolo, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues throughout 2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints between January and February 2025, with at least seven service requests through HPD, some of which resulted in temporary restorations of service; however, access issues during inspections were noted in February.

The property has also encountered various maintenance problems, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and water supply), flooring concerns, and problems with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, which resulted in violations being issued in January 2025. Recent housing maintenance records from 2024-2025 indicate several concerning conditions, including mold, elevator maintenance issues, and pest problems that were addressed through emergency complaints. The building underwent inspections in late 2024 that revealed multiple violations in apartment 2D, including evidence of rodent and roach infestations, along with various maintenance issues such as problems with the refrigerator seals, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen cabinetry.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, though recent filings from 2023-2024 show no current infestations. Although rodent inspections between 2022-2025 have shown some passing results, there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022. The building's elevator system has faced repeated issues, with active ECB violations in 2024 related to communication systems and door operations, resulting in a $3,125 penalty that appears to remain unpaid as of the most recent records.
