205 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The five-story building at 205 West 135th Street in Harlem, owned by Jerry Atkins and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints documented between 2023 and 2025. The property has documented 10 heat and hot water issues since October 2023, including several incidents in December 2024-January 2025 that were classified as emergencies.
A boiler room door issue was identified in April 2024 as a Class C violation, while hot water access problems were reported in both the community kitchen and various bathrooms, affecting multiple floors. The building has undergone regular semi-annual homeless shelter inspections, with several Oath Violations served between 2018 and 2025, particularly in 2022-2025. These inspections have identified various safety and maintenance concerns, including electrical wiring issues, combustible storage violations in the gas meter room, and problems with emergency lighting systems.
Environmental Control Board violations in 2022-2023 also highlighted concerns with electrical wiring quality and fire safety compliance. While the building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug infestations (reporting zero cases since 2020), rodent inspections have yielded mixed results, with several compliance failures recorded between 2023 and 2025. The property has shown responsiveness to violations, with many being resolved promptly, though some issues, particularly regarding hot water systems and certain building code compliance matters, have persisted over time.
