Augrented Insights Report for 541 West 142nd Street

541 West 142nd Street is a 6-story, 19-unit New Law tenement building located in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Yine Acosta. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and April 2025, suggesting persistent system problems. Most recently, there were plumbing water supply issues reported in May 2025.

The property underwent significant distress following a 2018 fire that damaged the roof structure and upper floors, though subsequent repairs were completed by early 2019. Recent inspections from 2022-2025 have shown consistent rodent inspections passing, though there was one rat activity finding in 2020. The building's December 2024 housing inspection revealed several violations, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heating systems in Apartment 2, as well as hot water issues in Apartments 2 and 41.

The property has also had various maintenance compliance issues, including a 2020 violation regarding unsecured access to the heating system. The building's permit history shows several permits issued for maintenance and repair work between 2018 and 2021, including emergency work permits. While the building has generally passed recent inspections, the recurring nature of heating and hot water issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
