Augrented Insights Report for 229 West 144th Street

229 West 144th Street is a 41-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement primarily consisting of two-bedroom apartments, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Kelly Downing. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns in May 2025 including emergency violations for carbon monoxide detector issues, multiple sanitations conditions (including mold and pests), and a radiator plumbing problem.

Open violations from July 2024 remain active regarding self-closing door requirements in multiple apartments (42 and 43), and there are ongoing issues with the building's energy benchmarking compliance, with multiple violations issued between 2023-2024 for failing to file required reports and display energy scores. The property has a history of heating and hot water issues, with complaints in 2024 and 2025 that inspectors could not verify due to access issues, and various sanitary maintenance problems including mold and pest infestations. While rodent activity was noted in March 2024 and one of the inspection areas failed in December 2024, a compliance inspection in April 2025 passed.

The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections, though many complaints resulted in no violations being found. The property has an active bedbug-free status based on reports from 2021 and 2024. Regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 have been conducted, with no enforcement action required during 2023-2024 compliance inspections.
