622 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
622 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by 620 LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning cluster of problems occurring in mid-2025, including violations related to unsanitary conditions (pests), window frame issues, and general maintenance concerns. Emergency violations were reported in June 2025 regarding fire escape safety and missing safety detectors (carbon monoxide and smoke).
Earlier in 2024, the building faced multiple violations including mold, plumbing issues, and pest infestations. Historical records show persistent rodent activity throughout 2023-2025, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and bait application requirements. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges beyond pest control, including safety-related issues such as a defective fire escape and problems with building systems.
In late 2024, violations were recorded for defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 54, along with mold issues. The Department of Buildings has recorded several significant complaints, including elevator service problems and illegal unit modifications, with some violations remaining active as of 2020-2021. Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024 indicate issues with exterior facade maintenance and various building systems, including elevator equipment. While the building has complied with bedbug reporting requirements and shows zero infestations in recent years, the cumulative history of violations suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges that require monitoring.
