Augrented Insights Report for 319 East 197th Street

The 30-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 319 East 197th Street in Fordham, built in 1913 and currently owned by Yoel Shafer, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The building has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in May 2025 when multiple complaints were filed, though inspections confirmed restoration of services. There have been persistent plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about radiators and steam piping documented between 2024 and 2025.

Apartment 1E has been identified as needing various repairs, including addressing water leaks, plaster damage, and vermin infestation, while Apartment 3B has required attention for mold, bathroom repairs, and tile replacement. The building's history includes multiple complaints and violations regarding illegal conversions and electrical wiring issues, particularly in 2019. Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2019 for work done without proper permits and occupancy issues, though these were subsequently resolved.

Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with evidence of rat activity noted in 2024, 2022, and 2021, though bait was applied in February 2025. The property has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs in recent inspections from 2020 through 2025. Regular benchmarking and boiler inspection violations were issued between 2019 and 2023, though many of these were eventually dismissed, indicating completed compliance with the requirements.
