308 West 133Rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

308 West 133rd Street is an 11-story, 46-unit residential building in Harlem, completed in 2016 and currently owned by Antoinette Walker. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its operational period, with the most significant being multiple water-related problems. In 2022 alone, there were at least three documented water-related complaints, including both slow and heavy flow leaks, some of which resulted in violations.

The building has also faced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between late 2021 and mid-2022, though inspections generally found no violations. Recent inspections in 2023 identified several violations in apartment 11C, including water leak issues, missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and an insect infestation, though all violations were certified as corrected by mid-2023. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity, while recent rodent inspections in late 2024 and 2023 had passed.

While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infested units in recent years, it has experienced various maintenance issues including plumbing, lighting, and door problems. The property has also been involved in multiple environmental violations, including a 2021 emergency stop button issue in the elevator that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. Energy efficiency compliance has been a recurring issue, with several violations documented between 2020 and 2021 for failing to file required benchmarking reports, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, particularly relating to water management and building systems.
