40 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The Kalahari condominium at 40 West 116th Street is a 12-story, 249-unit building constructed in 2006, currently owned by John Lynch. The property has experienced significant heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in February 2025, including four duplicate complaints and two instances where inspectors could not gain access to apartments for verification. These heating problems follow a pattern, as similar complaints occurred in February 2024 and November 2024.

Other notable building conditions include an active window frame violation from November 2024, work without permits complaints, and potential occupancy issues regarding the parking garage, which was reported to have exceeded its stated capacity of 65 cars. Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 indicate concerns about public safety and building code compliance. The building's maintenance record shows consistent rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections passed between 2019 and 2025.

While there have been periodic pest control issues noted in 2024 (unsanitary conditions), the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past three years. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2015 regarding required signage at the public hall remain open, though these are minor compared to more recent heating system problems. The property has also demonstrated compliance with various inspections and permits, including recent permit approval in June 2025. Regular maintenance inspections and rodent control efforts suggest ongoing management attention, though the heating system issues represent a recurring tenant comfort concern.
