Augrented Insights Report for 240 West 149th Street

The 6-story, 18-unit tenement building at 240 West 149th Street in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Martin Kirzner, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between August and December 2024, the building faced multiple plumbing-related problems, including issues with toilets, bathtubs/showers, and radiators, some of which resulted in housing code violations.

Apartment 5C, in particular, has documented violations requiring attention to water leaks, mold (greater than 10 square feet), hardwood floor repairs, and various paint requirements, all of which were certified as corrected by September 2024. More recent concerns include a March 2025 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, though this was ultimately found not to violate housing laws. The building currently has an active ECB violation from November 2024 regarding cracks in the building's stucco and window frames, for which a penalty of $1,250 has been imposed.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing rodent activity, with several compliance inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat presence, though some inspections have passed. The building's history also includes structural concerns, as evidenced by a 2024 complaint about building shaking/vibration, and previous issues with the fire escape system documented in 2022. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reports (2020-2024), the frequency of plumbing, electrical, and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
