Augrented Insights Report for 615 West 143rd Street

Building 615 West 143rd Street is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law tenement constructed in 1909 and currently owned by David Polinsky. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in October 2024 and January 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in October and previous inspections showed temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in February 2024 in apartment 55. Other significant maintenance concerns include multiple elevator service violations, with complaints in 2023, 2021, and 2019, though inspections typically found no violations or confirmed corrections.

The building has faced various interior maintenance issues, including ceiling plaster and paint problems, water leaks, and flooring concerns between 2023-2024; however, most HPD inspections found no violations or issued no violations. Recent inspections have revealed rodent activity in 2025, though previous rodent inspections from 2017-2023 showed no issues. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, though there were two infestation incidents noted in 2021 and 2022.

The boiler system has been a point of concern, with violations recorded in February 2024 for various defects including exposed wiring and improper piping support. The property has experienced recurring issues with its exterior walls and elevator maintenance, with multiple violations issued and fines imposed through the Environmental Control Board between 2018-2024. Regular benchmarking and FISP reporting violations from 2018-2021 were resolved through payment or dismissal, though an active violation regarding FISP Cycle 8B from 2018 remains. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing most violations, though some open violations and recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
