Augrented Insights Report for 618 West 142nd Street

618 West 142nd Street is a 6-story, 44-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Tony Huang. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2025. There are ongoing open plumbing complaints regarding the bathtub/shower and water supply as of March 2025, following multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building also has several open housing maintenance code violations from December 2024, particularly in apartment 6E, including issues with bathroom tiles, wood floor, and peeling paint, as well as violations in apartment 2C related to mold, water leaks, and pest infestations. The facade and building exterior have been a persistent area of concern, with multiple violations documented between 2021-2025 regarding maintenance of the exterior facade, including cracked brick and window issues, as well as problems with the fire escape steps. The building's safety features have also been under scrutiny, with emergency violations issued for unsafe conditions in 2021-2024 and several instances of failed pedestrian protection compliance during construction activities.

While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations with zero reported cases in recent years, the rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with one initial inspection in 2023 resulting in a failed status for "Other Reasons." The property has a history of regulatory compliance issues, including multiple violations for work without permits in early 2023 and a pattern of inspection access problems where authorities were unable to inspect for reported issues. The building's management has faced penalties for various violations, including a $1,250 fine for facade maintenance issues and a $6,250 fine for failure to file acceptable facade inspection reports. While some violations have been resolved, several remain open as of the latest available data, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
