119 West 133rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

This five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located at 119 West 133rd Street in Harlem, built in 1910 and owned by Ken Haron, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with seven such complaints since August 2023, including four recent emergency complaints in February 2025 alone. The building is also currently experiencing electrical problems, with several power outage complaints in February 2025, including one marked as an open complaint.

These electrical issues are particularly concerning given the age of the building's infrastructure. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2017 and 2025, indicating good pest control management. Additionally, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight years, from 2019 to 2024, showing effective pest management in this regard as well.

However, there is one active Department of Buildings violation as of April 2023 related to the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, which has not yet been resolved. Despite the recent heating and electrical problems, there have been no violations related to these issues on record with the Department of Buildings. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat and hot water complaints, particularly during the winter months, with multiple instances where HPD was unable to gain access to apartments for inspection. While some complaints have been resolved through tenant verification, the persistence of similar issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that merit attention.
