210 West 133rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 17-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building at 210 West 133rd Street in Harlem, currently owned by RH 210 W 133 St. LLC, has experienced recurring heating and water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints indicating inadequate heat and hot water services in both individual apartments and the entire building. These concerns are documented through multiple HPD service requests, including emergency complaints in January and February 2025 that were subsequently closed after inspections.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in April 2024, with documented issues including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower), water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leak), and unsanitary conditions related to mold, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The property has recent violations of concern as of 2024, particularly focused on apartment 5A, where multiple violations were issued including issues with plastered surfaces, door functionality, plumbing fixtures, and safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). There are also open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2025 regarding water leaks, wall conditions, and appliance issues (refrigerator).

The building's certificate of occupancy status has been under scrutiny since 2021, with an active Environmental Control Board violation indicating occupancy without a valid certificate, though this appears to reference a temporary certificate that expired. The property has maintained a record of being free from bedbug infestations since at least 2021, with regular inspections showing no occurrences. However, recent rodent activity has been noted in 2024-2025 inspections, including bait application in March 2025, marking a deviation from the generally passed rodent inspection record since 2019.
