Augrented Insights Report for 181 West 238th Street

181 West 238th Street is a 5-story, 65-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Bashkim Celaj. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple HPD complaints regarding pests, water leaks, and door problems.

Notably, there were two recent pest-related complaints in May 2025 that resulted in violations being issued, along with repeated water leak issues requiring HPD intervention. The building's history shows a pattern of sanitation challenges, including documented rat activity during multiple inspections in 2022, though there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2021. The property has accumulated several housing maintenance code violations, with significant issues noted in Apartment 11 including pest infestations (mice and roaches), hot water problems, and improper smoke detector installation, all documented in October 2024.

Building-wide violations include access issues to the heating system, storage of a gas range inappropriately placed under a staircase, and requirements to post certain building information that remain open as of October 2024. Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to energy efficiency requirements, including failure to display energy scores and submit benchmarking reports, dating back to 2019. You can reach HPD's Tenant Information Messaging Service at 212-863-4951 for further information regarding the building's maintenance history and current status.
