246 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
246 West 137th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit apartment building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jonathan Squires. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between 2025 and 2023, including a recent unresolved complaint from June 2025 concerning the entire building.
In addition to heating problems, the building has faced several other maintenance challenges, including a 2025 cooking gas emergency, and past issues with the fire escape (2021) and water supply (2021), though no violations were issued for these conditions. The property has open Housing Maintenance Code violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 to 2024, indicating non-compliance with annual reporting obligations.
Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a generally acceptable safety record, with multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025 showing consistently passed results. While some urgent maintenance issues have been addressed through HPD inspections, such as the November 2023 heat/hot water complaint which was verified and corrected, access issues have sometimes prevented full investigations, as seen in the June 2025 complaint. The building's age and history suggest typical maintenance requirements, but the pattern of heating system complaints and the outstanding bedbug reporting violations indicate areas requiring continued monitoring.
