Augrented Insights Report for 617 West 143rd Street

The 35-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 617 West 143rd Street in Hamilton Heights, built in 1909 and currently owned by Yida Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in 2024-2025. Recent complaints and violations indicate persistent problems with basic services, particularly in plumbing and sanitation, including multiple water supply issues and pest infestations in 2025 that resulted in multiple HPD inspections where access was denied. The building has ongoing elevator concerns, with an active complaint from April 2025 regarding single device operation without alternate service, following a history of similar complaints and violations between 2022-2024.

Significant maintenance issues were documented in 2024, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to self-closing doors, heat and hot water systems, and a Class C violation regarding the building entrance door hinges. The property has faced challenges with its facade maintenance, evidenced by multiple ECB violations regarding the sidewalk shed and pedestrian protection, with penalties totaling $12,000 in 2024. Safety concerns were highlighted by an active DOB violation as of January 2025 regarding missing steps on the emergency ladder at the roof level.

While the building has maintained a zero-infestation record for bedbugs from 2020 through 2024, there has been recurring evidence of rat activity according to rodent inspections from 2023-2025, with recent bait applications continuing through mid-2025. Multiple water supply and plumbing issues were reported and required emergency responses in 2025, indicating ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues requiring multiple complaints and inspections before resolution, with some violations remaining in active status as of mid-2025.
