274 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

As of April 2025, 274 West 119th Street in Harlem, a 20-unit, 5-story old law tenement built in 1910 and owned by Doron Greenberg, is experiencing several ongoing maintenance issues that may affect resident quality of life. Most notably, there are open complaints as of April 2025 regarding problems with flooring/stairs and walls/paint, both of which were reported through 311 service requests. The building has also recently experienced plumbing issues, including problems with radiators, sinks/basins, and toilets between January and April 2025, with multiple complaints remaining unresolved due to inspection access issues.

A heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building was reported in January 2025, though this was closed after the condition was reportedly corrected. The building has a history of various maintenance violations from late 2024, primarily concentrated in apartment 1D (including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and a fire escape lock) and apartment 4C (which has open violations regarding water leaks, radiator valves, light fixtures, and plaster/paint issues). A bedbug infestation was reported in March 2025, though it appears to have been contained to one unit and successfully eradicated.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023, though it experienced some failures earlier in 2023, indicating possible pest control challenges. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with specific concerns about water-related problems (including multiple leaks and plumbing issues), pest control, and building system maintenance (such as heating and electrical systems). The most recent complaints suggest continuing challenges with building maintenance and communication regarding access for inspections and repairs.
