Augrented Insights Report for 539 East 147th Street

The five-story Old Law Tenement at 539 East 147th Street in Mott Haven, built in 1915, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly in the last year. The building currently has several open violations as of December 2024, concentrated primarily in apartment 4W, including active violations for rodent infestations (roaches and mice), mold conditions, and window-related issues.

The property has a troubling history of unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints about pests, mold, and electrical issues between July and December 2024. Notable recent problems include heat and hot water issues in December 2024, and multiple emergency complaints regarding mold and unsanitary conditions in late 2024, for which violations were issued.

The building also failed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2024, with documented rat activity and the application of bait in 2023. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), the building's overall maintenance record shows recurring issues that suggest ongoing challenges with basic living conditions. A violation for failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and remains active.
