Augrented Insights Report for 502 West 148th Street

The 20-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building at 502 West 148th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Michael Padernacht and constructed in 1920, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing problems with the building's intercom system, with violations issued in both 2024 and 2025 suggesting persistent maintenance challenges. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water system failures, including a significant incident in October 2024 affecting the entire building.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed ongoing pest control challenges, with an open violation for roach infestation in apartment 2D from October 2024. Water-related issues have been a recurring theme, with multiple reports in 2023-2024 documenting leaks and moisture problems, particularly affecting apartment 3B. The building's systems and infrastructure have shown various shortcomings, including defective fire escape components noted in October 2024, and multiple housing maintenance code violations related to paint conditions, electrical systems, and building maintenance requirements. Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections had passed.

The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the last several years. While the building has experienced these various maintenance challenges, records indicate that many issues have been addressed through the regulatory process, with several violations being certified as corrected. An open DOB violation from 2023 regarding a low-pressure inspection filing remains active as of 2023. The building has also undergone several rodent inspections in recent years, with variable results but showing some improvement in compliance.
