Augrented Insights Report for 515 West 147th Street

515 West 147th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Arash Merabi. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between February and April, resulting in emergency housing maintenance code complaints.

The building has also been subject to several rodent-related problems, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently revealing rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows significant infrastructure challenges, particularly with the boiler system, which has generated numerous complaints between 2020 and 2024 regarding defective or inoperative conditions.

Recent housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 in apartment 51 indicate multiple safety concerns, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, missing window guards, roach infestation, and both lead paint hazards and peeling paint surfaces. In addition to these issues, there have been several housing maintenance code violations related to common areas, such as a defective door reported in February 2025 and problems with the building's stairs. While the building has maintained a record of being bedbug-free according to recent filings, the persistent heating and pest control issues raise concerns about overall building management and maintenance.
