141 West 139th Street is a 5-story, 133-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Louie Andris. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. Current open complaints include problems with indoor air quality and unauthorized smoking, while a pattern of plumbing issues, including problems with sinks and bathtubs, has persisted through multiple complaints.

The building has faced multiple heating and hot water service interruptions in 2025, with complaints frequently reporting these as emergency conditions. Earlier violations from 2024 highlighted significant issues, including water leaks, electrical problems, and paint/plaster damage, particularly affecting unit B26. Environmental concerns have included mold and pest infestations, with a notable infestation of roaches in unit C43 recorded in late 2024. The building's recent inspection history shows some improvements, with rodent inspections conducted throughout 2024 and 2025 generally passing, though there were initial failures in January 2024.

The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections and received permits for maintenance work, with records showing regular permit issuance for various repairs and maintenance needs from 2020 through 2023. Historical data indicates previous gas utility violations in 2019-2021 with fines issued for gas line maintenance issues, though these appear to have been resolved. The building experienced a significant bedbug infestation period in 2019 with six units affected, but subsequent years (2020-2024) show no reported infestations. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, though many of these complaints have been closed following inspections and repairs, including issues with heat/hot water, unsanitary conditions, and various infrastructure problems.
