607 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

607 West 136th Street is a five-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Ramon Nunez. The most pressing recent issue has been recurring heat and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints filed in January 2024, two of which were associated with building-wide conditions. The building has consistently maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, demonstrating compliance with HPD regulations from 2021 through 2024, showing zero infested units in the last two reporting periods.

The building has experienced some safety concerns over the years, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire escape access and emergency egress, though these were subsequently addressed and closed. The property has a documented history of heating system challenges, including a 2020 Department of Buildings violation regarding a defective boiler that resulted in a $625 penalty, though this is marked as active rather than resolved. All rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025 have resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management.

The building had violations in 2018 related to fire escape access and emergency egress, including blocked fire escapes and illegal locks, but these were addressed promptly. Additional historical violations include a 2018 citation for rear courtyard cleanliness and storage issues, which was resolved. While the building exhibits periodic heating system issues, the consistent rodent inspection passing grades and regular bedbug report compliance suggest generally effective building management in these areas.
