634 West 135th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
634 West 135th Street is a 39-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by West 135 Street 634 Realty LLC. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple open violations and service requests as of mid-2025. Most concerning are open violations related to the elevator system, which has shown persistent problems with communication and operation, and safety issues around egress passageways that have resulted in active Environmental Control Board violations in 2024.
The building has also faced persistent plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks, dampness, and water infrastructure problems in 2025, along with historical issues including hot water supply problems in apartment 6. There is evidence of recurring pest management challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in several units from 2019 through 2024, and rat activity noted in multiple rodent inspection reports between 2023-2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing but not fully resolving issues, with several open violations as of 2024-2025 including problems with plaster surfaces, painting requirements, and infrastructure maintenance.
The property has failed to consistently maintain building systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints regarding the boiler, elevator, and fire safety systems, including some inspection reports indicating violations of safety codes. Recent maintenance work has been documented through various permits and inspections, though many permits remain in process rather than having been fully completed or issued. The building's environmental control board fines and violations indicate ongoing concerns with building maintenance and safety compliance, particularly regarding exit access and fire suppression systems, suggesting a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance approaches.
