235 Central Park North, Manhattan, NY 10026

235 Central Park North is a 91-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located in Harlem, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The building has been experiencing ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple open complaints including elevator maintenance (opened June 2025), water leaks (both slow and heavy flow, opened May and June 2025), safety concerns regarding smoke detectors (opened May 2025), and appliance problems including an electric/gas range issue (opened May 2025).

The property has also faced significant challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple violations issued against Apartment 5F in June 2024 for rodent and roach infestations, along with various maintenance issues including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, cabinets, and floor tiles, though these violations were subsequently closed after inspections. The building's infrastructure has shown consistent maintenance challenges, particularly with the elevator system and water systems, as demonstrated by the ongoing complaints and previous violations regarding door lock monitoring systems dating back to 2020, which resulted in Environmental Control Board penalties.

Recent rodent activity has been regularly documented in rodent inspections, with the most recent indicating continued presence in 2025. While there have been periodic inspections for bedbugs between 2019-2024, no active infestations have been reported in recent filings. The property has also had various other maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and HPD complaints, including problems with doors, windows, walls, and appliances, many of which remain unresolved as of mid-2025.
