270 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026
The 26-unit, 5-story building at 270 West 119th Street in Harlem, currently owned by Ken Haron, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heat and hot water systems. From late 2023 through 2024, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints, with at least five building-wide outages reported, including the most recent complaints in December 2024.
The building also has a significant mold issue, with complaints in 2023 and 2024 resulting in both open and closed violations, particularly affecting apartment 2A. This apartment has documented maintenance problems including rodent infestation (November 2023), water leak issues, defective window guards, and lead paint concerns. The building's systems and infrastructure have faced several challenges, including elevator service interruptions documented in complaints from 2019 through 2024, with violations resulting in penalties for inoperative phone service and equipment maintenance issues.
Fire safety concerns were noted in 2023 regarding an obstructed fire escape and defective fire retardant materials in the public hall. While the building has maintained a good record of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2019 and most recent rodent inspections passing, the recurring heat and water system failures and other maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure maintenance. The property has gone through several inspections by the Department of Buildings regarding various complaints, including elevator issues, illegal conversion concerns, and heating system problems, though most violations have been resolved through compliance actions.
