206 West 132nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

206 West 132nd Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Jose Rivera. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2021-2022, with multiple emergency complaints regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific problems, although most were resolved relatively quickly with restored services.

In late 2021 and 2022, there were concerning issues with sanitation, including a mold violation in December 2021 and multiple electrical problems involving inadequate lighting in late 2021 and late 2022. The building has also faced air quality concerns, with multiple indoor air quality complaints in late 2022, including ventilation issues and other unspecified problems. Inspection records reveal some building safety concerns that have since been addressed, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartments 1F and 3R (both resolved by early 2023), as well as a violation for household items blocking access at public hallways.

More recently, in 2023-2024, the building has maintained a clean bedbug report record, with no infested units reported in the most recent filings. Rodent control efforts have shown variable results, with "Rat Activity" recorded in July 2024, though subsequent inspections have generally passed. The building's recent history from 2023 onward shows improved maintenance, with fewer complaints and violations, though the presence of recent rodent activity suggests ongoing pest management challenges.
