Augrented Insights Report for 541 West 144th Street

The 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 541 West 144th Street in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there are recent concerns about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (open since April 2025) and recurring rodent activity, with the latest inspection in July 2025 confirming rat activity. The building faced significant heating issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat/hot water in January, including both building-wide and unit-specific problems, though these were reportedly resolved during inspections.

Multiple maintenance issues were reported in April 2025, including problems with flooring, electrical outlets, and plumbing (steam pipe/riser), with several inspections unable to be completed, requiring follow-up complaints for proper evaluation. The building has a documented history of code violations and maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 violation regarding locked access to the heating system, multiple C-class violations in November 2024 concerning heat/hot water problems, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 18 that required correction. External concerns included a fire escape violation and issues with the building's exterior elements.

The property has maintained an active rodent control program, with multiple bait applications in 2024-2025 and documented rat activity. While there have been reports of bedbug infestations in the past, recent filings from 2023-2024 show no active infestations or eradication efforts. The building's permit history from 2018-2020 shows regular maintenance and repair work being conducted, though specific details about the nature of these permitted works are not outlined in the available data.
