Augrented Insights Report for 135 West 238th Street

135 West 238th Street is a 6-story, 66-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1928, currently owned by Yehuda Levi. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, particularly concerning heating systems, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between February and April 2025 affecting the entire building. Recent complaints in June 2025 include issues with mold and plumbing, while a construction lead dust complaint from May 2025 remains unresolved.

The building has an active façade-related complaint from February 2023, and two concerning structure-related complaints were filed in late 2023, including one about building shaking/vibration. The property has numerous open Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to façade maintenance and reporting requirements, with fines totaling over $40,000 associated with specific building conditions. Historical violations indicate persistent issues with the building's exterior walls and retaining walls, particularly noted in multiple ECB violations between 2021-2024. The building has undergone several inspections related to rodent activity, with consistent reports of rat presence in 2020, 2021, and 2022, though recent bedbug inspections between 2021-2024 show no infestations.

The property also has several open violations requiring attention to safety features, such as missing mirrors in elevators, improper signage, and various maintenance issues documented between 2022-2024. The building's heating system has been a recurring problem, with multiple violations and complaints about inadequate heat and hot water supply throughout 2025. Recent inspections have revealed both emergency and non-emergency issues, though many complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention. The property's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building envelope and safety systems, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations over the past several years.
