Augrented Insights Report for 522 West 148th Street

The 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building at 522 West 148th Street, owned by Joseph Cafiero and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and June 2025, including entire building outages and individual apartment problems. The building has active housing maintenance code violations as of July 2025, including an open Class C violation from December 2024 regarding restricted access to the heating system boiler room in the basement, and ongoing hot water issues affecting apartment 2B.

The property has also faced pest problems, with a significant unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests filed in February 2025 and multiple violations related to rodent activity documented between 2023 and 2024, though recent rodent inspections in January and July 2025 passed. Earlier complaints reveal additional maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 2B, including issues with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and evidence of insect infestations documented in August 2024 violations.

The building has a documented history of bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2023, though recent reports from 2023 show zero infested units. While there have been multiple service requests and violations related to various maintenance issues, recent rodent inspections passing in 2025 suggest some improvement in pest management, though the frequency of heat and hot water complaints continuing into 2025 raises concerns about system reliability. The building's permit history shows construction-related permits issued in July 2018.
