144 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

As of July 2025, 144 West 141st Street in Harlem, owned by Karim Hutson, is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations from 2025 indicating structural concerns, including spalling concrete, cracked stones, and deteriorated mortar joints on the building's exterior, particularly at the roof and bulkhead areas.

The building has also experienced recurrent electrical issues, with a power outage reported in March 2025 that prevented an HPD inspection, and previous unsanitary conditions involving sewage reported in February 2025 that were also not inspectable. The Department of Buildings records show a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a boiler violation from 2022 and multiple sidewalk-related complaints, though most inspections did not result in violations being found.

There are two active violations from 2020 related to NYCHA unsafe reports that remain unresolved in the system. More recent complaints include both a closure and an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, suggesting ongoing regulatory oversight. While some historical complaints (such as the sidewalk shed issue and the boiler problem) were ultimately resolved or did not result in violations, the building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of inspection access issues and recurrent basic utility problems that have yet to be fully addressed.
