9 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10037
9 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 18-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Andrew Regenstreich. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during the winter months of late 2024 and into early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code regarding inadequate heat and hot water across various apartments and the entire building. Notable complaints include an emergency heating and hot water complaint in January 2025 (closed without access gained for inspection) and several similar complaints between October 2024 and November 2024, including violations cited against Apartments 5B and 6C for inadequate heat and hot water.
The building's boiler system has also faced challenges, with a defective boiler complaint filed in November 2024 leading to an Environmental Control Board violation and a $312 penalty. The property has documented infrastructure and maintenance concerns, including unsanitary conditions in the garbage/recycling storage area (October 2024), rodent activity (with multiple reports in 2023-2025 season), and various housing maintenance violations. A November 2024 inspection identified issues requiring corrections, including peeling paint in Apartment 6C, inadequate garbage receptacles, and the need for improvements to common areas.
The building's pest control history shows consistent monitoring for rodent activity, with bait applied in late 2023 and multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity. However, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past six years, with no reported infestations. The most recent inspections in early 2025 have continued to document pest activity, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure systems.
