253 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

The 7-story, 3-unit building at 253 West 113th Street in Harlem, owned by Andre Nobles and constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over its history, with particular attention to the period in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During 1990, multiple violations were documented including inadequate hot water supply throughout various units, issues with walls and ceilings in public areas, and problems with the boiler room access.

These violations, along with others related to window glass in the community bathroom and inadequate water supply in specific apartments, were all addressed and certified as corrected by 2008. More recently, the building has had a number of rodent-related incidents, with the most significant being a "Rat Activity" result in June 2024, though subsequent inspections in December 2024 and June 2025 have shown improved conditions with "Passed" results.

The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. A notable violation was recorded in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent filings. The property has generally maintained passing grades in recent inspections, suggesting improved overall maintenance, though the June 2024 rodent activity indication is a noteworthy exception in the recent history of the building.
