Augrented Insights Report for 542 West 140th Street

542 West 140th Street in Hamilton Heights is a 3-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Eric Anderson. The property has faced recurring maintenance challenges, with the most recent concerns including rat sightings in June 2025 that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections, and a heat/hot water complaint in December 2024 that could not be investigated due to access issues.

The building has maintained a consistent pattern of general maintenance issues throughout 2021-2025, including plumbing problems (notably with toilets in May 2021), electrical outages, and window frame concerns. Multiple violations were issued in 2021 regarding building safety requirements, including inadequate fire retardant materials and missing emergency notices in the first-story vestibule.

While the building has completed several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, showing mixed results with all but the most recent inspections passing, the property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units. The Department of Buildings conducted a sidewalk shed inspection in February 2024 that found no violations, and several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2022 have been resolved, though there remains at least one open violation from March 2021 regarding window repair in apartment 2F and electrical service issues.
