240 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026

240 Manhattan Avenue is a 22-story, 69-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 2012 and currently owned by Kelly Kim. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system occurring regularly from October 2023 through January 2025, including eight separate complaints in this 16-month period, all of which were closed without inspections being conducted. Despite these recurring complaints, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past seven years, with all annual reports showing zero infested or re-infested units.

The building has also consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 confirming compliance. The property has undergone several regulatory inspections, including Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2024, all of which showed no violations warranted at the time of inspection. A single housing maintenance violation from March 2018 regarding leaky faucets in apartment 2B appears to have gone unresolved in the records.

Previous complaints regarding a food establishment (2019) and a gas utility referral (2019) were also closed with no violations found. The building's permit history from 2018 shows multiple permits being issued for various works, including plumbing and electrical maintenance. While the repeated heat and hot water complaints represent the most significant ongoing issue, the building generally maintains good standards in other areas such as pest control and regulatory compliance.
