206 West 133rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 5-story, 22-unit tenement building at 206 West 133rd Street in Harlem, owned by Adi Selimovic and dating back to 1910, has experienced persistent infrastructure and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating and water systems. From March to May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were resolved quickly with system restorations being confirmed by occupants. The building has also faced electrical challenges, including a power outage in April 2025, and problems with wall maintenance documented in the same period.

A significant cluster of violations emerged from inspections in late 2024, particularly in Apartment 2B, which was found to have water leaks and pest infestations, including both roaches and mice, leading to Class B and C violations. Additionally, Apartment 1E was cited for various issues, including a lack of hot water and pest problems, though some of these violations were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints throughout 2024-2025.

Infrastructure issues have also been documented, including a broken entrance door glass pane and concerns about the building's heating system access. The property has had several rodent activity reports, with inspections in 2025 showing both passing and rat activity results. A fire escape violation was noted in 2022 related to disrepair of stair treads, and while the building has shown good bedbug management with no reports of infestation since 2021, the persistent heating and plumbing issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's overall violation pattern indicates a systemically aging infrastructure requiring regular intervention, particularly regarding its essential systems like heating, water supply, and pest control.
