139 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The four-story, 10-unit building at 139 West 111th Street in Harlem, owned by Earl Scott, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable being a series of heat and hot water problems in early 2022. Between January and April 2022, there were ten documented complaints about heating issues, ranging from individual apartments to entire building outages, with all cases eventually being resolved though some required multiple reports.

More recently, in 2023, the building received a violation for failing to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, which remains active as of April 2025. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of pest control and rodent activity management. Bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 indicates no infestations or related issues during these periods, while rodent inspections have produced varied results.

Most recently, in 2025, the building passed inspections in April and October, though previous inspections in 2023 and 2022 showed rat activity. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units and reporting regular eradication efforts when necessary. The building's 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints have generally been addressed promptly, with HPD verifying corrections in most cases, though the frequency of heating complaints in early 2022 suggests there was a significant temporary maintenance challenge during that period.
