Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

At 306 West 142nd Street in Harlem, this 7-story, 36-unit building constructed in 2015 under owner Angel Fabian has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent months. Between June and September 2024, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, particularly relating to pest infestations, with violations issued in June and July 2024. The building has also faced ongoing issues with heat and hot water, evidenced by a September 2024 emergency complaint. Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in August 2024 include defects in plaster and paintwork, particularly in Apartment 2E, and a mouse infestation affecting multiple units (2A, 2D, and 3E). The property currently has four active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 relating to failure to file required energy documentation, including benchmarking reports and energy efficiency scores.

Recent inspections show a mix of rodent activity levels, with rat activity recorded in April 2024, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and early 2025 indicated passing results, suggesting some improvement in pest control efforts. Historical data shows recurring issues with building systems, including an elevator complaint in June 2022 that resulted in no violations being found at inspection. The building's energy compliance issues have been persistent, with monthly violations dating back to 2019, though previous violations for similar issues were dismissed or challenged successfully. While a bedbug report submitted in December 2024 indicated no infestations during the reporting period, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with both general upkeep and regulatory compliance.
