130 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The four-story, formerly converted Class A residential building at 130 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Zakary Rahman, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety history since its construction in 1887. The most recent significant events occurred in late 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed between October 2023 and May 2024, including issues with water leaks (heavy flow), non-lighting electrical problems, sink plumbing, and a gas range appliance.

A notable cluster of complaints from 2019-2020 primarily concerned electrical issues, with two power outages documented in July 2019 and February 2020, though these were also closed without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows some structural and safety concerns, particularly in July 2019 when several violations were documented regarding the door frame, door closing mechanisms, and door stopper in Apartment 4. Additionally, there are two open violations from 2023-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code.

However, rodent inspections have consistently shown compliance, with all inspections passed from 2017 through 2025. While the building has experienced recurring electrical and plumbing issues over the years, the lack of documented violations for most complaints suggests that while these problems required attention, they may not have reached a level of legal non-compliance. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections with consistent passing results, indicating effective pest management practices.
