115 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story building at 115 West 136th Street in Harlem, owned by William Coram Jr and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years. Most notably, there was a recent heat and hot water emergency in December 2024, though the issue was resolved shortly after HPD's intervention. The building has documented persistent water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks in 2022 (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and multiple housing maintenance code violations related to infrastructure and safety.

Particularly concerning are the open violations from July 2022 in apartment 3B, which include issues with roach infestation, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a requirement for proper window sill painting. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to pest control, with a rat activity report in May 2024 followed by several "Passed" inspections since then. There are also open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from both 2023 and 2024.

The property underwent various infrastructure work in 2019-2020, including multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work, and there was a facade-related violation in 2020 with a penalty of $655. During inspections in 2022, the building had multiple complaints that inspectors were unable to access for verification. While many complaints have been resolved, the building shows a pattern of requiring ongoing maintenance attention, particularly in regards to water systems and pest control.
