247 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

247 West 113th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Charles Coutinho. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with eight documented complaints between July 2023 and February 2024, including four recent complaints in February 2024 affecting the entire building. The building has active violations related to inadequate heat provision in Apartment 2B and hot water temperature issues in Apartment 3C as of late February 2024.

Other maintenance concerns have been documented, including window frame issues (December 2023), a door-related problem (September 2022), and cooking gas concerns (two separate incidents in 2022), though many of these complaints were resolved following HPD inspections. The building's compliance record shows periodic inspections for rodent control, with the most recent showing three consecutive passed inspections in 2024-2025, though there was one failed inspection in June 2023. Bedbug reports indicate no infestations since records began in 2018, showing consistent management of pest control issues. A 2018 Department of Buildings complaint regarding an illegal conversion was investigated but found no violations.

The building maintains an active bedbug reporting history showing zero affected units, and has undergone regular rodent inspections with generally positive results, suggesting effective management of these particular issues. The property's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with heating and hot water systems, particularly during winter months, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations. However, the building has shown improvement in pest control management, with consistent reports of zero infestations and successful rodent inspections in recent years. The property was built as a standard tenement building in 1920 and has maintained its original classification as a New Law Tenement, though its maintenance record shows typical issues for a building of its age and type.
