Augrented Insights Report for 271 East 138th Street

The 145-unit, 7-story residential building at 271 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, built in 1965 and currently owned by Paul Freitag, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between April and May 2025. During this period, the building received multiple Housing Preservation Department (HPD) complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, including plumbing problems (toilet and bathtub/shower issues), unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), and various maintenance concerns involving doors, windows, flooring, and electrical systems.

While most of these complaints were ultimately closed without finding violations, some resulted in issued violations requiring corrective action. The building's history shows recurring issues with bedbugs, particularly notable in recent filings from December 2024, which reported one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. Previous bedbug incidents were documented in 2019, 2020, and 2021, though many periods showed no infestations.

A significant inspection in November 2024 revealed multiple safety concerns in Apartment 6X, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, hot water issues, and problems with self-closing doors, though all violations were certified as corrected by December 2024. Other notable incidents include a 2023 Environmental Control Board violation regarding safety issues with suspended scaffolding at the roof level, and various building inspection complaints in 2023-2025 that generally resulted in no violations being found. The building's permit history shows several issued permits between 2018 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work.
