Augrented Insights Report for 208 West 149th Street

208 West 149th Street is a 5-story, 42-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem and built in 1940, currently owned by Malcolm Punter. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues, with multiple building-wide complaints in March 2025 and one in October 2024, indicating ongoing central heating problems. The building underwent significant violations and maintenance work in 2024, including lead paint hazard notifications in Apartment 4B, required door repairs in public areas, and several heating system-related violations.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2018-2022 regarding its functionality and safety features, though recent inspections show no active violations. Boiler maintenance has been problematic, with several ECB violations issued in 2020 regarding safety relief valves and neutralizers, resulting in fines that were subsequently resolved. The building has demonstrated some improvement in recent years, with passed rodent inspections in 2022-2025 and a single bedbug infestation reported in 2024, though there were five units affected in 2019.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain active as of 2024-2025, including failure to file required energy efficiency documentation and perform necessary inspections. Recent building-wide service requests primarily relate to heating issues, suggesting that this remains a critical area requiring attention. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance work throughout its history, with most violations being resolved through proper remediation, though some persistent issues remain, particularly relating to building systems and safety compliance.
