143 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
143 West 136th Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Natasha Scott. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably regarding unauthorized conversions and safety violations. In 2024, four Environmental Control Board violations were documented concerning safety concerns with an illegally converted 4th-floor apartment, including inadequate means of egress, lack of fire alarm systems, absence of sprinklers, and improper use of the permanent dwelling.
These violations resulted in penalties totaling $10,250, though records indicate they have since been resolved. The building has persistent Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2023-2025, with varying results including instances of rat activity and successful bait application in summer 2023.
Most recently, in 2025, there were two complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms and unauthorized conversions, resulting in a partial vacate order and an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access. The building has maintained passing rodent inspection results as of 2024, though historical records show periods of rat activity. The combined history of unauthorized uses, safety violations, and pest control issues suggests ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges at this property.
