611 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

611 West 136th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Juana Aruajo. The building's recent history includes several significant incidents, most notably a November 2024 indoor air quality complaint involving human feces, which required the Department of Health to send a corrective notice to the property owner.

The building experienced a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in February 2021, though these services were reportedly restored promptly. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to lead-based paint hazard compliance remain open from 2022, specifically concerning apartment 22's failure to provide required documentation and notification of paint hazards, as well as problematic tile repairs in the 2nd-story public hall. The property has demonstrated generally good pest management practices, with recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2023 showing zero infested or eradicated units, and rodent inspections consistently passing through 2025.

There were multiple Department of Buildings violations issued between 2018 and 2020 regarding external low-pressure inspections and annual boiler inspections, though all were dismissed by July 2023. The building has also undergone several 311 service interventions, including a 2022 inspection for a broken window guard, which was found to have no violations, and two sidewalk-related complaints in 2023-2024 that were not substantiated at the time of inspection. While the building has some persistent issues requiring attention, particularly related to lead paint compliance, it has maintained regular rodent control and bedbug monitoring protocols, and most structural and safety violations have been resolved.
