135 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 6-story, 18-unit building at 135 West 135th Street in Harlem, built in 1910 and owned by Melania Cinque, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are recent complaints from April 2025 about pest problems that were not able to be inspected by HPD, and an ongoing issue with the bell/buzzer/intercom system reported in February 2025. Throughout 2024-2025, there have been multiple water-related incidents, including two separate complaints in May 2024 (one with heavy flow, one with slow leak), and additional water leak complaints in October 2023.
The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water issue in October 2023 (which was not verified as a violation during inspection), flooring concerns, and multiple pest-related violations. In 2024, Apartment 4A was cited for multiple violations including lead paint hazards, requiring correction, and there were documented pest issues in 3A regarding roaches and mice infestations. The building has maintained a passing record on rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, and bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infested units.
Historical records show an elevator safety violation from 2018 with a $1,250 penalty, though it was resolved. The property shows consistent attention to addressing maintenance issues, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2021 for various repairs. While many complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the pattern of recurring water issues and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent rodent inspection results are consistently passing.
