Augrented Insights Report for 138 Haven Avenue

The 29-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 138 Haven Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Tom Aponte, has faced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there is an ongoing heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building as of May 2025, marking the ninth such complaint in 2025 alone.

The building has also experienced recurring rodent activity, with inspections in April and July 2025 confirming the presence of rats. In late 2024, the property underwent structural monitoring, and while Department of Buildings records show past violations regarding wastewater pipe leaks, concrete and masonry issues, and plumbing problems, these were dismissed based on submitted engineering reports from June 2024. The building has faced multiple inspection challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues, with several HPD attempts to inspect apartments being denied access.

Violation records from apartment 14D in late 2024 revealed multiple issues requiring attention, including lead paint hazards, water leaks, and various repair needs, while apartment 15 was cited for multiple repair needs including a broken refrigerator door gasket. Historical complaints from 2018 related to illegal activity were investigated but no violations were found at that time. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reports filed from 2018 through 2024, and recent rodent control efforts have included bait application and inspections, with variable results suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.
