Augrented Insights Report for 536 West 149th Street

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 536 West 149th Street in Hamilton Heights, now owned by Raj Gupati, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone various maintenance and regulatory challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an active concern regarding potential illegal hotel conversions or illegal rooms, with two complaints entered in June 2025 (one marked active and another closed due to inspector inability to gain access). The building has accumulated multiple violations regarding the failure to file annual low-pressure external inspections from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 remaining active.

The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 resulting in "rat activity" findings, though the most recent inspection in January 2025 passed. The December 2024 Housing Maintenance Code violations reveal several maintenance issues, primarily affecting Cellar Apartment 2, including problems with plastered surfaces, self-closing doors, and various other maintenance concerns. Additional violations were identified regarding sprinkler system maintenance, including a painted sprinkler head and issues with open position valves.

While the building has maintained bedbug-free status in recent reports, there have been historical infestations noted, with the most recent findings from the 2023-2024 periods showing 0 infested units and 0 units requiring eradication. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, with several December 2024 issues receiving certification of correction by January 2025. However, the persistent nature of the rodent inspections and multiple active violations related to external pressure inspections indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's age, built in 1910, combined with these various issues suggests that while some problems have been addressed, others remain persistent, particularly regarding building systems and pest control.
