111 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

111 West 137th Street is a six-story, 17-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 in Harlem, currently owned by Larissa Aranda. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent service requests in February 2025 highlighting problems with a basin/sink (violations issued), water leak (no violations), and ceiling paint/plaster (no violations).

Significant maintenance concerns have persisted through 2023-2025, including multiple plumber-related issues (bathtub/shower in 2024, various leaks), appliance problems (refrigerator and range in 2023), and multiple incidents of water leaks and ceiling damage. Of particular note are ongoing pest control challenges, with open violations as of December 2024 for roach and mouse infestations in Apartment 3B, and a previous infestation in Apartment 1B noted in March 2024.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing mixed results, with recent inspections in 2025 passing for one and failing for compliance reasons in another. Housing Maintenance Code violations and multiple emergency complaints indicate significant living condition challenges, though the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the past several years. The most recent cluster of complaints in October 2023 involved violations for ceiling paint/plaster, door issues, and appliance problems, primarily affecting Apartment 6C, as well as concerns about door/window conditions and a past report of unsanitary conditions related to pests in July 2023.
