146 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The building at 146 West 140th Street is a 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1924 and currently owned by Sam Klein. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly concerning problems emerging in 2025. Multiple 311 complaints were filed in June 2025 regarding plumbing issues (toilets), mold, unsanitary conditions including pests and sewage, and some of these resulted in violations.
The building is currently facing several open housing maintenance code complaints as of July 2025, including issues with electrical appliances, window frames, plumbing fixtures, power outages, doors, and instances of unsanitary conditions with pests and mold. Prior violations from late 2024 indicate recurring mold problems in multiple apartments (notably in apartments 5L and 3E), inadequate heating systems, and electrical safety concerns. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly with electrical systems, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2018 and 2022 regarding defective/exposed wiring.
There have also been persistent pest control issues, with rodent activity noted in inspections throughout 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The property has a record of various environmental control board violations, including failure to comply with commissioner's orders and electrical work performed without proper permits. While bedbug infestations have not been reported in recent years (zero reported units from 2021 to 2024), the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both system upkeep and various housing code compliance issues. Recent rodent inspections have shown some improvement, with more passes than failures in 2025 compared to earlier years.
