160 West 130th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

Located in Harlem, 160 West 130th Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1881 and currently owned by 160 W 130 Realty Llc. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2017 and 2025, and has maintained a clean bedbug record with no reported infestations in the past five years.

However, several significant maintenance issues have emerged in recent years. The building currently has seven active violations related to failure to file annual boiler and external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018-2023, as well as a recent Notice of Violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The most recent complaints and violations have centered around Apartment 1R in the basement, which has documented issues including rodent and cockroach infestations, plumbing problems (including sink and radiator issues), and various maintenance concerns such as electrical fixtures, door/window problems, and wall/ceiling defects.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development investigated multiple complaints in late 2023 and early 2024 (including issues with appliances, windows, doors, floors, and unsanitary conditions), no violations were ultimately issued from those inspections. The building's history also includes past complaints about work without permits, building stability concerns, and illegal conversions, though many of these complaints were closed due to inspector inability to gain access or were resolved without penalties. The property has maintained active compliance with monthly and yearly requirements from 2017-2025, with the exception of the recent inspection filing violations.
