Augrented Insights Report for 452 West 149th Street

The 30-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building at 452 West 149th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, a cluster of building-wide violations was documented in September 2024, including issues with plumbing (radiators and sinks), electrical lighting, flooring, and wall conditions.

These problems resulted in multiple violations being issued, though they were generally categorized as B-level violations requiring correction. Earlier in 2024, the building faced issues with heat/hot water (February), pest control (October 2023), and indoor air quality concerns (March 2024). The building has a recurring history of elevator issues, with complaints logged about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" in 2021 through 2024, though inspections often found no violations or the inspector was unable to gain access.

Recent environmental control board violations from March 2024 identified issues with hoist machine maintenance and expired testing tags, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The property has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported from 2021 to the present, though there have been multiple rodent activity inspections, with the most recent showing rat activity in April 2025. The building, constructed in 1910, has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of older NYC tenements, requiring ongoing attention to basic building systems and environmental conditions.
