147 West 131st Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 147 West 131st Street in Harlem, owned by Thomasina White and constructed in 1886, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, though many have been resolved without resulting violations. Between late 2023 and mid-2024, the building faced multiple general maintenance concerns, including problems with cabinets, plumbing fixtures (bathtubs/showers and toilets), and ceiling paint/plaster in various units.

A significant heat and hot water complaint was filed in February 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. The property also experienced an interim period of infrastructure concerns, most notably in Unit 3A during 2022, where violations related to hot water temperature, gas supply, and various bathroom fixtures were documented and subsequently certified as resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing compliance.

Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, indicating effective pest management. The most recent health inspection in November 2024 resulted in no violations being found, though there was a rodent sighting incident reported and investigated by health authorities. The property has undergone regular inspections for various maintenance issues, with most complaints being resolved through inspections that found no violations, particularly for the multiple general complaints filed in late 2023 and early 2024, which included issues with intercom systems, cabinet repairs, and plumbing fixtures.
