148 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
148 West 111th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Harlem and owned by Eugene Mendlowitz, dating back to 1900. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, including recurring problems with window guards (two open safety complaints in 2025), persistent pest infestations (two open unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in 2025), and multiple heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in December 2024.
The most recent violations of note involve an open mold violation in apartment 5D as of April 2024, along with several historical maintenance issues including a pattern of rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2024-2025, though recent inspections (February 2025) show compliance. Apartment 5D has been particularly problematic, with multiple documented issues including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, visible mold, pest infestations, and various maintenance violations all recorded between 2023-2024. The building has seen some structural concerns, with a vibration complaint filed in 2023, though no violation was ultimately found.
While the building experienced some heat/hot water issues in late 2024, records indicate these were resolved promptly. The property history shows some concerns about unauthorized modifications, with an illegal conversion complaint filed in April 2025, though access was denied for inspection. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a relatively clean record with regard to bedbug infestations in recent years, with no cases reported since 2021.
