150 West 130th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit building at 150 West 130th Street in Harlem, owned by Shaun Covington, has experienced recurring heating system challenges over the past several years, with six documented heat and hot water complaints between 2022 and 2025, including two in April 2025 alone. These heating system issues, which have affected both individual apartments and the entire building, have typically been resolved promptly, with tenants reporting restoration of services during HPD inspections.

The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (toilet and water supply), an unsanitary condition involving pests, and refrigerator appliance issues, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued. While there was one instance of a work-without-permits complaint in 2021, the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the reported issue. The property has maintained a notable record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2017 through 2025 showing compliance.

Importantly, recent bedbug reports for the period from November 2023 to October 2024 show zero instances of infestation, consistent with previous years' reports dating back to 2019. The building has experienced two significant frostbite violations - one for a dangerous light fixture in 2002 and another for inadequate ventilation in 1998. Despite the recurring heating system challenges, the building has generally maintained good overall conditions, as evidenced by passing all recent rodent inspections and demonstrating compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
