243 West 113th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
Located in Harlem, 243 West 113th Street is a 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Scott Castellano and containing 24 units. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, many of which HPD was unable to access units for inspection.
These issues have resulted in open Class C violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartments 3A and 4C. The building's elevator system has been another significant concern, with multiple complaints and violations between 2019 and 2025, including a July 2024 violation for tripping hazards between car and landing, and consistent issues with floor leveling, door monitoring systems, and alternate service requirements. Recent inspections have shown some improvement in building conditions, with rodent inspections in 2025 showing passed results, and no bedbug infestations reported in the last five filing periods.
However, there are still active DOB violations related to failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions. Additional concerns include unsanitary conditions with pests reported in June 2025, and various heating system violations throughout 2023-2024, including non-compliance citations for boiler maintenance issues. The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug issues effectively, with all filings since 2020 showing zero infested units.
