508 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
508 West 135th Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement in Harlem built in 1910, is currently experiencing significant rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2025 and 2024, including recent inspections in April and May 2025 showing persistent rat activity. The building's rodent control efforts have included multiple bait applications throughout 2024, though inspections in 2025 have shown continued infestations.
The property has also accumulated several open violations since October 2024, affecting multiple units including apartments 2A, 3A, and 5A, with issues including broken bathroom tiles, defective electrical outlets, and problems with self-closing doors. The building underwent a series of repairs and inspections in July 2022 addressing various maintenance issues including electrical problems, plumbing, and appliance concerns, though no violations were issued at that time. The building's maintenance record shows a proactive approach to bedbug prevention, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating no infestations in the past three years.
A potentially concerning complaint about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings was filed in September 2022, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The property's water-related issues are notable, with an emergency water leak complaint filed in February 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's management has shown some response to maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple completed complaints, but the persistence of rodent problems throughout 2024 and into 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with pest control.
