Augrented Insights Report for 603 West 139th Street

The property at 603 West 139th Street in Hamilton Heights, a 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1905, has experienced persistent maintenance and health concerns over the past several years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests, mold, and a broken/missing window guard. The building has recurring issues with water leaks, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2025-2024.

The building has also been under scrutiny for safety and code compliance, with multiple open Department of Buildings violations related to defective fire-rated doors and failure to maintain building standards. Between 2019 and 2025, there have been several rat activity inspections showing consistent rodent presence, with the most recent inspections in 2025 indicating continued rodent issues. The violation history reveals significant ongoing maintenance challenges, including an open Class C violation from 2023 regarding cockroach infestation in apartment 5A, and previous issues with mice infestation in apartment 2D.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2022 indicate ongoing non-compliance with building maintenance requirements, with penalties imposed for failure to comply with commissioner's orders. While the building's bedbug reports from 2020-2025 show minimal infestation activity, the persistent pattern of pest complaints, water issues, and safety concerns suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. Recent complaints in 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and safety issues appear to have resulted in inspections where access was not granted, prompting recommendations to refile complaints for proper resolution.
