Augrented Insights Report for 518 East 138th Street

Located in Mott Haven, this 6-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building at 518 East 138th Street was built in 1906 and is currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, with multiple housing maintenance complaints emerging in May 2025 regarding windows, doors, and unsanitary conditions, including pest issues and mold.

Notable violations include an open C-class violation from December 2024 for pest infestations in Apartment 9, as well as plumbing and maintenance issues in Apartment 13, including multiple water-related problems and a pest infestation violation. The building has undergone consistent rodent control measures between 2022 and 2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait. While bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 indicate no infestations, the building's overall maintenance history shows recurring issues with door/windows, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions.

Previous violations from 2018 included various maintenance issues related to the boiler room and cellar conditions, though these were resolved. The property has had two illegal conversion complaints (2020 and 2022) that were either closed without violation or without inspector access. The building's infrastructure and habitability have been maintained through various inspections and compliance measures, but persistent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
