108 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

108 West 141st Street is a 7-story, 55-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Pamela Suriel. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2025 and 2024 indicating building-wide problems (including an open violation since January 2024) and difficulties gaining apartment access for inspections. The building has also faced various quality-of-life issues, as demonstrated by multiple HPD violations in April 2025, including problems with lighting, cabinets, walls, floors, doors, and the presence of mold, with violations issued requiring correction within specified timeframes.

The property has significant documented issues with its exterior and infrastructure systems. Multiple ECB violations from 2018-2022 indicate problems with the building facade, including issues with spalling bricks, peeling paint, and cracked window lentils, particularly affecting the chimney and parapet wall. There have been several violations related to elevator service and inspections, with a notable instance of an inactive emergency stop switch in 2022 leading to a penalty.

While there have been no recent bedbug or significant rodent infestation reports (with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing "Passed" results), there have been occasional rat activity reports in 2022 and June 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple HPD emergency complaints requiring inspection and investigation. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 also indicate various repair needs within Apartment 2C, including issues with water leaks, plaster repairs, and cabinet problems, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by early 2024.
