Augrented Insights Report for 522 East 138th Street

The six-story, 27-unit tenement building at 522 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Weng's Management LLC, is experiencing several ongoing maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, an electrical wiring complaint filed in April 2025 remains open, while multiple water leak incidents, flooring issues, and plaster/wall problems reported in April 2025 have been addressed and closed.

The building has documented rodent infestation issues, with violations issued in 2024 for rat and roach problems in Apartment 1, as well as for infestations noted in the center courtyard. Additional open violations from 2024 cite problems with fire safety equipment, including defective self-closing doors and locking devices at fire exit doors in the south courtyard. The property has a history of boiler-related compliance issues, with active violations for failure to file required boiler inspection reports dating back to 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic services, including plumbing problems that necessitated emergency attention in 2022, and various structural and safety concerns. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (as per annual reports), the building has experienced multiple failures in rodent inspections between 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections show bait has been applied. The property management has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024 related to plumbing, pest control, and building safety systems, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges at this century-old building.
