Augrented Insights Report for 226 West 238th Street

226 West 238th Street, located in the Kingsbridge neighborhood, is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1917 and currently owned by 226 W 238 Realty Corp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a building-wide heating and hot water system failure in May 2025 that generated multiple tenant complaints, and a recent unsanitary condition related to pests in June 2025 for which HPD could not gain access to conduct an inspection. Historical data shows the building had serious gas-related violations in 2020, including improper gas dryer installations and unsafe gas piping, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $8,750, though these were resolved.

The building underwent an inspection in December 2024 that revealed various violations including defective windows, door issues, and maintenance concerns in common areas, particularly on the 4th and 5th floors, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Between 2023 and 2025, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection in October 2023, and has shown no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years according to mandatory reporting requirements. The building's documented history reveals a mix of maintenance challenges and regulatory compliance issues, with recent complaints primarily focused on heating system failures and pest control.

Previous concerns about unauthorized work and safety violations in 2020 resulted in significant penalties, though these appear to have been addressed. The building has maintained regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years. The property has a total of 27 units and was built in 1917, featuring typical New York City tenement architecture with five stories.
