184 West 134th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

184 West 134th Street is a three-unit residential building in Harlem, owned by George Sideris and constructed in 2000 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently highlighted by 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2023, including an emergency report of heat/hot water problems.

The building currently has several open violations from late 2023 related to Apartment 2, including concerns about water temperature exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit, defective self-closing doors, and bathroom wasteline obstructions. Additionally, there are two active violations from 2024 and 2023 concerning the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations between 2017 and 2020, with reports showing zero infested units during those periods.

Though the property has maintained regular rodent inspections, with all initial inspections passing from 2018 through June 2025, the recurring issues with heat and water systems, along with the open violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, the heat-related problems seem to occur during both heating and non-heating seasons, as evidenced by the recent November 2023 complaint, where inspectors found that heat was not required at the time of inspection. The building's violation history indicates some improvements in compliance, with earlier bedbug report violations seemingly addressed (no violations from 2021-2022), though new violations have emerged in 2023-2024.
