Augrented Insights Report for 508 West 140th Street

The 32-unit, 5-story tenement building at 508 West 140th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Philip Shapiro and dating back to 1912, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2024, the building received multiple housing violations related to door and window conditions, including a broken pane at the building entrance door and an obstructed fire escape.

The property has shown recurring issues with wall and ceiling maintenance, with multiple paint/plaster complaints between 2023-2024, and had emergency violations in 2023 for mold and ceiling damage in Apartment 44. Heating system problems were documented in late 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Significant historical issues include a notable incident in 2021 regarding unauthorized apartment modifications in Apartment 44, where illegal room conversions and key-locked doors were observed, leading to active violations with fines for work without permits and improper hardware.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections recently, with rat activity detected in 2024 and early 2025, though some subsequent inspections resulted in "passed" ratings. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with no infestations reported in the past two filing periods. Additional historical records indicate previous concerns about fire escape access and exterior maintenance, including a broken window frame at the entrance and various egress-related violations, though many of these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent inspections and repairs.
