220 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The three-story, 10-unit residential building at 220 West 137th Street in Harlem, currently owned by Elinic LLC, has a complex history spanning several years. Built in 1910, this Class B building has recent active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years from 2018 through 2023, and an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding annual bedbug report filings. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with a September 2023 rat sighting reported through the 311 system, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time.
While rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have generally passed, all environmental control board violations related to construction and safety from 2020-2022 have been resolved, including a 2022 violation regarding an expired construction fence permit with a $6,250 penalty. The building's recent history shows consistent permit activity between 2019-2022, with multiple permits issued for various maintenance and repair work. During this period, there were several construction-related complaints, including issues with safety compliance and site conditions, though inspections generally found no violations at the time.
The property has also faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, with two violations issued in 2020 regarding compliance with executive orders. Of particular note is the recurring pattern of open violations regarding annual bedbug report filings between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing administrative non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements. While the building has generally maintained pass rates for various inspections, the persistence of certain open violations, particularly regarding inspection filings, indicates areas requiring attention from regulatory authorities.
