220 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 220 West 116th Street in Harlem, owned by W 116-125 Portfolio LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past year, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent incident occurring in May 2025, along with significant water leak issues, including a heavy flow situation in April 2025.
The building has faced persistent plumbing and sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about pests (including roaches), and various maintenance issues including window frames, radiator problems, and wall and ceiling conditions requiring attention. There are several open violations of concern, particularly in Apartment 5E, where there are documented issues with roach infestation, peeling paint, and a wood door problem.
The building's boiler compliance history shows serious deficiencies, with multiple active violations (dating as far back as 2020) regarding the filing of required annual boiler inspection reports, currently carrying a penalty balance of $655. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity detected in August 2024 and July 2025, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 failed for other reasons. While the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations in recent years, the persistent pattern of maintenance issues across various systems (heat, plumbing, pest control) suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
