Augrented Insights Report for 539 West 148th Street

539 West 148th Street is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights and owned by David Bowen. The building, which was constructed in 1920 and is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. The most pressing current concern is an open heating system violation from November 2024 affecting Apartment 3, related to a defective flushing apparatus.

The building has also faced multiple cleanliness and maintenance challenges, with notable patterns of unsanitary conditions and pest management issues emerging in 2024, including mold and mouse infestation violations in Apartment 3. Other recent maintenance needs include door repairs, plumbing issues, and various violations related to safety systems requiring attention. The property has undergone several inspections and service requests related to heating systems, plumbing, and pest control.

A significant cluster of complaints occurred in 2024, including multiple emergency service requests in June 2024 for heating issues, pest problems, and fire escape concerns. The building's plumbing and heating systems have been a recurring source of tenant complaints, with a recent heating complaint in November 2024 and multiple heating-related issues documented in earlier years. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of pest control efforts, with rodent inspections in 2025 showing "Passed" results and no reported bedbug infestations in recent years. The property has also demonstrated responsiveness to certain maintenance needs, with some violations being addressed and closed, though many remain open as of the latest available data.
