Augrented Insights Report for 116 West 197th Street

116 West 197th Street is a 6-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement built in 1926, currently owned by Fazli Gjonbalaj. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, particularly evident from January to February 2025, with multiple complaints about insufficient heat and hot water affecting the entire building.

These complaints, classified as emergencies, were generally resolved promptly according to Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) records, though the frequency of such issues over this short period is notable. The property also received several housing maintenance code violations in mid-2025, including problems related to mold, flooring, walls, and windows, indicating some ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows significant issues concentrated in apartment 4B, with multiple violations documented in 2024, including water leaks, pest infestations (mice and cockroaches), and problems with bathroom fixtures.

However, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2019 to 2025, which is a positive indicator in terms of pest management. The property has met rodent inspection requirements in 2025 and 2024, though there were reports of rat activity in early 2023 and 2022. On the energy efficiency front, the building currently has an active violation for failing to display its energy efficiency score and grade, while a previous benchmarking report violation from 2019 was dismissed.
