221 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

221 West 135th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Annette Marquez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant violations related to boiler inspections. As of June 2023, there are active violations for failure to file the 2018 and 2020 external low-pressure inspections.

Previous violations included a December 2019 incident involving multiple issues in apartment 5F, including electrical problems, roof leaks causing water damage, and issues with plastered surfaces, all of which were subsequently closed following repairs. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2017 to 2025 showing "Passed" results. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2023 indicate no infestations in the building, with all units showing as eradicated and no re-infested units.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018 and 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and various repair needs. However, more recent records suggest improved maintenance, with no major complaints reported in the past two years. The property had one power outage incident in December 2019, but this appears to be an isolated event. While there were violations related to the building's heating system notice requirement and various repairs needed in 2019, including issues with the bell-buzzer/intercom system, all these violations have since been resolved through proper documentation and repairs, suggesting active management of the building's maintenance needs.
