214 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The five-story, 24-unit tenement at 214 West 116th Street in Harlem, built in 1900, has experienced persistent maintenance issues under its current ownership by Gateway Properties LP. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of inadequate heat and hot water supply affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between February 2024 and April 2025, resulting in several violations.
The building has also faced significant water-related issues, including leaks and plumbing problems, particularly affecting apartments 3F and 4A, which experienced bathroom ceiling leaks, electrical problems, and mold growth between late 2023 and 2024. Recent complaints include a ceiling paint/plaster issue in April 2025 that resulted in violations.
Rodent activity has been documented in recent inspections, with the most recent showing rat activity in July 2025, following a pattern of such findings through 2024, though some inspections in 2023-2024 noted "Passed" results. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in official reports since 2019, indicating effective pest control measures, the continuing infrastructure issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and persistent rodent presence, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been consistently addressed through inspections and certifications, though the pattern of repetitive complaints indicates potential difficulties in maintaining long-term solutions.
