Augrented Insights Report for 608 West 139th Street

608 West 139th Street is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 located in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by 608-610 Realty Corp. The building has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, with numerous complaints in May 2025 regarding plumbing problems (toilets, bathtubs/showers), unsanitary conditions (mold), flooring issues, and problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings. These complaints were all investigated by HPD but did not meet violation standards. There are concerning patterns regarding pest control, as evidenced by recent rodent inspection results showing "Rat Activity" in mid-2024 and 2023, following several previous inspections that passed.

Significant infrastructure concerns include multiple recent elevator service complaints (2025), though historical data shows these have been recurring issues since 2021. The building has also faced challenges with building systems, including a heat/hot water complaint in March 2025 that could not be inspected. Apartment 1D has documented violations from late 2024 concerning multiple maintenance issues including water leaks, defective sinks, flooring problems, and a notable unresolved Class C violation regarding roach infestation. The property experienced inspection violations related to construction safety in 2019-2020, primarily concerning unsafe scaffolding and inadequate pedestrian protection, with corresponding penalties imposed.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and ongoing issues, including recent emergency plumbing repairs and water leak problems. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent annual filings (2022-2025), the building continues to grapple with various maintenance challenges. The current active complaints suggest ongoing concerns with building systems and maintenance response times, though many recent complaints were closed following HPD inspections. The elevator service issues recorded throughout 2025 represent a significant concern given the building's reliance on a single device for vertical transportation.
