Augrented Insights Report for 603 West 138th Street

The 24-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 603 West 138th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by David Eshaghpour and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2024-2025. There have been multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, with three complaints in 2025 alone, though one was found not to violate housing laws.

Recent access issues have hindered inspections for plumbing and pest problems, with an ongoing open electric wiring emergency complaint as of June 2025. The building has faced significant challenges with building safety systems, including multiple violations related to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 4 and 43, window guards, and self-closing doors. The property has also undergone various construction activities that generated multiple violations in 2024, particularly during a period of tenant safety inspections in June 2024, with penalties imposed for failing to post proper tenant protection notices and scaffold safety measures.

The elevator system has been a point of concern, with violations noted in 2024 related to safety features and emergency procedures. However, the building has maintained a clean rodent inspection record, passing all inspections between 2016 and 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, though there were issues with rats and mice in specific apartments during 2024-2025 that were subsequently addressed. While many complaints have been closed, some recent issues remain unresolved, including heating problems and an open electrical wiring violation, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
