35 Mt Morris Park West, Manhattan, NY 10027

At 35 Mt. Morris Park West in Harlem, a 32-unit, 7-story Old Law Tenement built in 1890 and currently owned by Bridget Beatty, the most pressing current issue involves the building's heat and hot water systems. Between mid-February and early March 2025, there were multiple complaints (9 in total) regarding heat and hot water problems, most of which were related to a building-wide condition, though some individual apartments required inspection.

While some complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations, others resulted in emergency violation classifications. The building has also been dealing with a persistent self-closing door issue at the bulkhead door, which was cited as an open Class C violation in December 2024. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024 affecting apartment 1E, such as issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, plumbing fixtures, and an active mice infestation.

While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2017 and has shown no bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods, there are active violations regarding the failure to file required facade inspection reports (FISP) and the associated $1,250 penalty from 2021 remains active. The building's systems have experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including elevator service problems noted in 2020 and violations regarding pedestrian protection in 2020 and 2021, though many complaints typically result in "No Violation Warranted" findings upon inspection. The property has undergone regular inspections and maintains compliance with various safety requirements, though the current heat and hot water issues suggest ongoing systems maintenance challenges.
