216 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

216 West 136th Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Milton Wilson. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance of required maintenance reporting, most notably failing to submit annual bedbug reports as evidenced by open Class A housing maintenance code violations for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024.

Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of non-compliance with external low pressure inspection filings, with six active violations issued between April and September 2023, as well as a violation for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report from January 2020. Despite these regulatory compliance issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with successful results recorded for ten consecutive years between 2017 and 2025, indicating no significant pest control problems.

The Department of Buildings also investigated a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building in October 2022, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt. While the property has maintained some basic standards through regular rodent inspections, the open violations related to bedbug reporting and pressure system inspections suggest areas requiring better management and oversight.
