Augrented Insights Report for 213 West 238th Street

213 West 238th Street is a 5-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement built in 1923 and currently owned by Leslie Lerner. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent complaints in May 2025 regarding pest infestations, and earlier issues in 2025 including heating problems affecting the entire building, and multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance. An inspection in April 2025 resulted in several violations related to floor conditions, window frames, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing (bathtub/shower), wall maintenance (paint/plaster), and mold, all of which required correction within specified timeframes.

The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2025 (April, June) documenting rat activity and bait application. Historical data reveals several significant incidents, including a 2020 violation for occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy in Apartment 16 (illegal bedroom conversion), with a penalty of $3,125. Current open violations from a December 2024 inspection (class C) are related to maintenance issues in Apartment 20, including bathroom floor tiles, bathtub, bathroom tiles, and window repairs. The Department of Buildings has active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file required inspections and reports related to external low pressure systems, and from 2021-2022 regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to annual reporting from 2020-2023, the continued presence of rat activity and recent pest complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, with multiple violations issued in 2025 alone. While some issues have been resolved through inspection and correction, many violations were documented as requiring follow-up or had unclear resolution status as of the most recent data. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement class building suggest it retains many original features, which may require ongoing maintenance and upgrades to meet current building codes and resident expectations.
