139 West 112th Street is a five-story, 20-unit converted old law tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Scott Metzner. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints regarding toilet problems between May 5-9, 2025, following a pattern of similar complaints in previous years.

A notable cluster of heating and hot water issues occurred in October 2024, affecting both apartments and the entire building, though these were subsequently closed after confirmation of restoration. The building has maintained generally good rodent control records, with most inspections passing, though there was one documented instance of rat activity in October 2024. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, including a series of violations documented in June 2024 in Apartment 2B, addressing problems with light fixtures, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and the need for proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Apartment 1B also had violations noted in October 2023 regarding bathroom repairs. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations since 2019 except for one case in 2017-2018, which was documented as eradicated. Regular inspections between 2019 and 2025 indicate generally good management of rodent issues, with the property passing inspections in 2025 and showing improvement from earlier rodent complaints.
