102 West 134th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 17-unit, 5-story building at 102 West 134th Street in Harlem, owned by David Simhaee, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the past year. In 2024 alone, there were numerous complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, plumbing problems, and electrical issues. Notable incidents include violations issued for pest infestations in August 2024, multiple plumbing complaints (including toilet and sink issues), and electrical problems with outlets and switches.
The building has also faced recurring boiler inspection access issues, with multiple complaints in 2024 (January, February, and April) showing inspectors were unable to gain access, though one complaint from July 2023 resulted in an Oath Violation. The property has undergone rodent inspections in recent years, with results showing both compliance failures and successful pass rates. While the building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs according to recent reports, significant maintenance concerns persist.
The inspection history from 2024 shows multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 3A, including electrical outlet problems, plumbing issues, and various needed repairs to building systems and fixtures. Additionally, an Environmental Control Board violation from July 2023 resulted in a penalty related to scaffold safety during facade work. Recent inspections (2025) have passed, indicating some improvements, though the persistent nature of the issues throughout 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges for the building.
