Augrented Insights Report for 294 West 147th Street

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 294 West 147th Street in Harlem, owned by Martin Kirzner, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the structural and water-related problems documented between 2024-2025, including multiple water leak incidents (both heavy flow and slow leaks) resulting in violations, and building façade concerns with reports of bulging and separation. The property has a documented history of plumbing problems, with inspections in 2025 revealing violations related to bathtubs/showers and doors.

Multiple units have reported issues requiring urgent attention, including apartment 1A with history of roach infestation, water leaks, and various maintenance concerns; apartment 5C with cabinet and ceiling problems; and past concerns about illegal conversions in apartment 2C. The building has faced recurring pest management challenges, particularly with rat activity as evidenced by multiple failed inspections between 2022-2025, though recent inspections show some improvement with compliance status changes. The Department of Buildings has documented several serious violations, including concerns about emergency egress pathways in 2022 and various structural stability complaints in 2024.

Between 2021 and 2025, there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations requiring attention, though many have been resolved through appropriate certification processes. While the building has maintained a zero-tolerance policy for bedbug infestations in recent years (as per the annual reporting requirements), the overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and surfaces, as evidenced by numerous paint/plaster complaints and fixture issues. Recent documentation shows some progress towards resolution as of mid-2025, with recent inspections passing compliance tests, though historical patterns suggest periodic recurring issues and a need for continued monitoring of building conditions and maintenance responses.
