Augrented Insights Report for 525 West 146th Street

The 31-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 525 West 146th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Hans Kappel and constructed in 1926, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most pressing being consistent heat and hot water problems. In early 2025, two emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat/hot water issues, and between February and March 2023 alone, there were four separate complaints about heat/hot water problems, most of which resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to units for proper inspection.

The building also faced challenges with rodent control, showing rat activity in multiple inspections throughout 2023, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. Additional maintenance concerns have included safety violations such as broken marble stair treads observed in 2023, requiring repairs on multiple floors, and various issues in Apartment 4R including faulty carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, pest infestations, and floor repairs needed (all of which were certified as corrected by May 2023).

The building's history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing maintenance issues, with recent bedbug reports indicating no infestations in 2025, following two previous instances in 2023-2024. While there have been multiple violations issued and resolved, including a concerning incident in 2021 regarding fire escape obstructions, the property has demonstrated some improvement in recent inspections, particularly with pest control showing passed inspection results in 2024-2025.
