Augrented Insights Report for 481 East 140th Street

481 East 140th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit tenement building in Mott Haven, constructed in 1902, currently owned by Josue Velazquez. The property has experienced recurrent maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in late 2024, including plumbing issues with a basin/sink (December), and multiple violations issued in October 2024 for fire escape safety, mold, and pest problems. Notably, apartment 5A has multiple open violations from October 2024 including lead paint hazards, mold issues, and an infestation of roaches that require abatement and repairs.

The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2024, though some have been resolved. The property's maintenance record shows persistent sanitary challenges, with documented pest problems in 2024 including rodents and roaches, though recent inspections in 2023 indicated passed rodent inspections. The building's exterior has also faced issues, such as peeling paint and plaster problems, with violations issued requiring uniform repainting.

A concerning pattern emerges from the complaint history, with multiple instances of various maintenance issues being reported and requiring HPD intervention, though not all violations have been fully resolved as of the latest inspection dates. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2025 shows zero infested units, indicating successful management of this particular pest issue. Recent inspections have revealed some compliance with basic housing maintenance requirements, but with numerous open violations suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
