237 West 134th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The five-story, ten-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 237 West 134th Street in Harlem, owned by Yolanda Burns, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events since 2019. Most recently, in late 2024, there were heat and hot water issues reported in December, though inspections found no violations.
The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention efforts, with three consecutive annual filings from 2022-2024 showing zero infested units, all certified as compliant. A concerning pattern of rodent activity was observed in 2024-2025, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity, though the most recent two inspections in February 2025 and October 2024 passed without issues, indicating possible improved conditions.
Two significant safety concerns were documented in 2019: a fire escape issue and an illegal hotel room complaint, both of which were closed without violations. The building was cited for failing to submit annual bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022, though this issue appears to have been resolved in subsequent years. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized uses in the area, with building-specific complaints about illegal commercial use (2020) and illegal hotel rooms (2019), but inspections found no violations in both cases.
