230 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 230 West 135th Street in Harlem, owned by Soyini Chan-shue, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to its boiler and heating systems. Most concerning are three active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020 (June 30, 2023) and 2022 (April 25, 2023).

The property has a documented history of heating issues, including a February 2022 complaint regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Additionally, the building was issued a violation in November 2019 for failing to file its 2017 boiler inspection report, which was dismissed in May 2020 after a $1,000 penalty was paid.

The building's maintenance record includes a 2018 gas utility referral (closed with no violations found), and positive news regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the 2021-2022 or 2019-2020 reporting periods, including no cases of eradicated or re-infested units. While the property has had its share of violations and complaints, including an emergency heat/hot water complaint and multiple inspection filing failures, it's worth noting that most of these issues have been resolved through various means, including inspections and penalties, though two violations related to low-pressure inspection filings remain active as of 2025.
