102 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The two-family residential building at 102 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Ryan Pedram, is a four-story structure constructed in 2017. The building's construction phase encountered significant safety and compliance issues, as documented in February 2018, when Atomic Contracting Inc. received two notable violations.

The first violation, which incurred a penalty of $1,200, involved serious safety concerns with missing guardrails on all rear balconies and exposed steps, violating safety equipment requirements. The second violation, for which a penalty of $250 was imposed, related to unauthorized changes in construction work, specifically concerning the installation of interior walls from the cellar through the fourth floor, which deviated from the approved construction documents. Both of these violations have been resolved, with no balance due remaining.

In terms of recent inspections, a rodent inspection conducted on August 2, 2023, resulted in a passing score, indicating that the building is currently free of rodent issues. This recent inspection result, along with the resolution of earlier construction violations, suggests improved conditions in the building since the problematic construction period. However, it's worth noting that the building's relatively recent construction date (2017) means it is still within the standard warranty period for many building systems, which could impact maintenance and repair responsibilities.
