Augrented Insights Report for 408 East 138th Street

The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 408 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, constructed in 1931 and owned by Adel Fadel, is currently experiencing significant heating system challenges. Between January 3 and January 19, 2025, there were eight documented complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water issues, with violations issued and multiple inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, and several critical maintenance issues were identified in October 2024, including water leaks, fire safety concerns, and required painting work in the public halls of the 2nd and 3rd stories. The property has a history of plumbing and heating system problems, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and ECB penalties totaling over $20,000 related to unauthorized hot water heater installations and unregistered boiler issues in 2024.

There are recurring rodent control challenges, with documented rat activity observed between 2017 and 2023, despite bait application efforts. The building's recent history shows persistent maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges, particularly in relation to its heating system, safety violations, and pest control issues, suggesting ongoing struggles with proper building maintenance and code compliance.
