Augrented Insights Report for 537 East 139th Street

The 21-unit building at 537 East 139th Street in Mott Haven, owned by 537 E 139 LLC, is a 5-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1906. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent significant incident being a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building in November 2023. A series of housing maintenance code violations were documented in June 2024, including problems with fire retardant materials in two locations (the 2nd-story public hall and 3rd-story stairwell), multiple water-related issues in apartment 2A (including leaks, mold, and bathroom fixtures), and various defects in the apartment's bathroom and kitchen infrastructure.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, with several water leak complaints recorded between 2023 and 2024, and an emergency heating system issue. Additional concerns include electrical problems (lighting) in September 2023, appliance-related violations, and multiple instances of general repair needs. The Department of Buildings records from 2019 and 2021 show investigations into electrical wiring and drainage issues, though no violations were found.

A bedbug infestation was reported in one instance in 2018-2019, but there have been no reported infestations since then. Rodent inspections between 2016 and 2023 have shown consistent evidence of rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2022 passing but earlier inspections showing failures. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with both preventive maintenance and timely repairs, particularly regarding water systems and general upkeep.
