228 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 228 West 135th Street in Harlem, owned by Melvin Frederick, has been in operation since 1930 and presents several areas of concern based on recent inspection data. Most notably, the property has accumulated an open violation from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 under Housing Maintenance Code Section HMC.
Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2022 and 2023, with the most recent violation dated September 2024. On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 marking the tenth consecutive pass since 2017.
While the property maintains a strong record in terms of pest control, the outstanding violations concerning bedbug reporting and low-pressure inspection filings suggest potential lapses in compliance with certain building maintenance requirements. All violations listed remain open as of the most recent data available up to October 2023, indicating ongoing non-compliance with filing requirements over the past four years.
