Augrented Insights Report for 488 East 139th Street

488 East 139th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Martin Kirzner. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably a series of heating and hot water problems in February 2025 that generated multiple emergency complaints from tenants. While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, violations were issued, indicating persistent maintenance challenges.

More recent concerns include broken door/buzzer/intercom systems, with violations documented in both December 2024 and June 2025. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding lead paint compliance, with open violations as of December 2023 related to failure to provide required records and notify occupants. The property maintains a relatively consistent record of rodent inspections, passing multiple inspections between 2010-2023, though it did fail one inspection in April 2017 for unspecified reasons.

Bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show minimal issues, with the most recent filings indicating no infested units during the reporting periods. The building has undergone various repairs and maintenance actions, including the replacement of broken glass panes and lock assemblies at the building entrance in February 2023, and the removal of encumbrances in public areas. While many housing maintenance code violations have been addressed and closed, the presence of open violations related to lead paint compliance as of late 2023 suggests ongoing regulatory requirements that need to be fulfilled.
