16 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10037

The three-story, two-family house at 16 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Ryan Pedram, has had a relatively clear record since its 1910 construction, though there were some notable incidents in 2020.

Most significantly, in January 2020, unauthorized construction work was observed during an inspection, including interior demolition on the first floor and new framing with metal studs on the second floor, which resulted in a violation. This incident led to an enforcement action with a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded by the end of the month, and the Department of Buildings later conducted a compliance inspection in December 2020 with no further issues noted.

The building has been subject to regular rodent inspections since 2017, all of which have resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspections in June 2025, December 2024, and June 2024 confirming continued compliance. Two permits were issued in 2020 for work on the property, one in January and another in June, though the specific nature of the permitted work was not detailed in the available records.
