73 West 130th Street, Manhattan, NY 10037
73 West 130th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1900 and currently owned by Ramon Escobar. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with recent complaints in 2025 including an open HPD complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions from May 2025, and a slow water leak complaint from the same month that has since been reportedly resolved. The property has faced multiple heating system challenges, with heat and hot water complaints from January 2025 (both building-wide and apartment-specific) and previous heater-related issues documented in 2022.
There is also a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions noted throughout 2024-2025, including multiple reports of mold (October 2024, December 2024), pest issues (October 2024), and rodent sightings, with the most recent inspection from June 2025 showing rat activity. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant maintenance violations, including a currently open Class C violation from October 2024 regarding a defective mortise lock at the first story vestibule door. Numerous violations were issued in September 2024 for Apartment 2A, including problems with plastered surfaces, bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, and electrical outlets.
The property has also faced ventilation and exhaust issues, with a complaint recorded in October 2024, though no violations were found at that time. Historical data shows previous structural concerns, including a 2019 complaint about falling debris that resulted in an immediate hazardous violation. While the building shows no recent bedbug activity (reporting period ending October 2023 showed 0 infested units), the property has had multiple rodent inspection failures, particularly during late 2024 and 2025, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. The building's management has occasionally struggled to provide access for inspections and repairs, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations.
