115 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

115 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 27-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kenneth Morrison. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in March 2025 involving a heat and hot water complaint that was investigated but found not to violate HPD housing laws. Notable clusters of violations emerged in late 2024, particularly in December, with multiple issues documented in apartment 5D including water leaks in the bathroom and foyer, pest infestations (roaches and mice), various plumbing problems, and electrical outlet issues.

These violations, classified as A, B, and C, were subsequently certified as corrected between January and March 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks (both heavy and slow) in 2024, as well as concerns about sanitation including pest problems and garbage storage. While rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have consistently passed, there were periods of rat activity noted in 2020 and 2021, suggesting past rodent control challenges.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases in recent years. The building has undergone several safety inspections, including a sprinkler system inspection in March 2024 that found no violations. The presence of multiple housing code violations and emergency repair requests throughout 2024-2025 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, though most complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections and subsequent repairs.
