132 West 133rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 5-story, 11-unit tenement building at 132 West 133rd Street in Harlem, owned by Robert Ezrapour, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. In August 2020, the building faced significant heating and hot water problems, with HPD receiving complaints about these issues throughout the entire building. While these services were reportedly restored within a few days, the incidents reflect potential infrastructure weaknesses.

More recently, as of April 2023, the Department of Buildings issued two active violations related to the failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, though no disposition has been recorded for these violations by October 2023. On a positive note, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control and sanitation. Comprehensive bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024 shows zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any unit, indicating diligent pest management.

Furthermore, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 marking the tenth consecutive pass since 2019. These sanitation achievements stand out particularly given the age of the building (constructed in 1910) and the common challenges faced by similar structures in Harlem. While the heating system issues and the recent DOB violations warrant attention, the building's overall maintenance record demonstrates regular compliance with many basic housing requirements.
