15 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10037

The three-unit, three-story building at 15 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Novak Vukasinovic, has experienced a few notable issues over the past several years. Most concerning are the open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with citations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024.

These ongoing violations suggest a lack of compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding pest management reporting. The building has also faced two significant service requests: one in 2022 regarding heat and hot water issues impacting the entire building, which was resolved within three days, and another in 2021 concerning flooring conditions, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections conducted from 2017 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing no issues.

There was one investigation in 2019 regarding possible illegal hotel rooms in the building, but the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the complaint. While the building's overall condition appears stable with regular maintenance checks and no significant safety violations, the recurring bedbug reporting violations and the past heating issues in 2022 are aspects worth noting. The property's structure dates back to 1910, and it has been classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building.
