514 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
514 West 136th Street, a 24-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1905 in Hamilton Heights, has experienced persistent maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded throughout 2024 and early 2025, though some complaints were resolved upon inspection. The building currently has three open emergency complaints as of June 2025 regarding plumbing (sink), window frame, and ceiling conditions.
A significant maintenance concern was addressed in 2024 when violations were issued for various safety and maintenance issues, including problems with door hardware, fire escape obstructions, and balcony maintenance. The building's heating system has been under scrutiny, with inspections showing corrosion on domestic water piping and other issues, though a July 2024 inspection found no violations related to a boiler complaint. Recent inspections indicate ongoing pest management challenges, with multiple rodent inspections showing rat activity in 2024-2025, though three initial inspections in 2022-2023 passed.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with consistent reports showing zero affected units between 2020 and 2025. While there have been several housing maintenance code violations identified and subsequently closed, including issues with self-closing doors and flooring, the current open complaints regarding plumbing, windows, and ceiling conditions are particularly noteworthy. The building's management has also faced scrutiny for not meeting certain documentation requirements, as evidenced by active violations for failure to file 2018-2020 external low pressure inspections.
