Augrented Insights Report for 615 East 138th Street

615 East 138th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building in Mott Haven, owned by Altagracia Castillo and constructed in 2008. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently in January 2025 when both entire building and plumbing water supply complaints were logged and closed by HPD. The property faced significant electrical and pest challenges in 2021, particularly in apartment 3B, which received multiple violations including electrical outlet issues and pest infestations, along with safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.

These violations, while marked as closed through certifications in 2022, indicated serious maintenance shortcomings. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring patterns, with multiple heat and hot water complaints over the years, including an 2018 incident that was resolved during inspection. More recent concerns include an unresolved plumbing inspection attempt in March 2025 and a documented electrical issue in January 2025. The building has been subject to various complaints and inspections regarding building systems and maintenance, including documented pest issues in 2020 (closed), and the most recent rodent inspection in June 2023 was passed, indicating no current rodent problems.

Despite the history of maintenance issues, the building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, maintaining a record of zero infested units from 2019 through 2024. The property has also undergone periodic inspections and has addressed various building maintenance codes, including repairs to plastered surfaces and electrical systems, though several open violations from the 2021 inspection in apartment 3B related to pest control and safety device maintenance merit attention. Two complaints about illegal commercial use in residential zones were recorded in 2021, though inspections found no violations. Historic records from 2019 show an elevator violation that was resolved.
