122 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 122 West 139th Street in Harlem, owned by Jennifer Perez and built in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with the most recent 311 complaint in June 2025 regarding conditions attracting rodents, following multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity.
The building has also faced significant habitability concerns in 2025, including multiple open complaints regarding janitorial/superintendent issues, an unresolved general complaint about the building's intercom system, and multiple recent housing maintenance code complaints involving water leaks, mold, and ceiling problems. The property has multiple open violations from December 2024 related to Apartment 9, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective plastered surfaces, and water leak issues. Apartment 20 has documented violations from November 2024 for pest infestations (mice and roaches), electrical service issues, and lead paint hazards.
The building's heating system has been another area of concern, with violations in April 2024 regarding boiler operation and heating levels, and multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2025. Compliance inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing, though earlier inspections had documented rat activity. While the property has maintained an active response to these issues through various repairs and inspections, the persistence of these problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
