117 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
117 West 141st Street is a 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Franklin Tejada. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with significant electrical problems being a major concern. Between June 2025 and the end of 2024, there were multiple electric power outage complaints (including three emergency complaints in June 2025 alone) and repeated elevator service interruptions, with violations served for improper elevator maintenance in both 2023 and 2024.
The building has also faced various sanitary and maintenance challenges, including pest infestations (with ongoing rodent issues noted in recent inspections), water leaks, and multiple housing maintenance code violations affecting multiple units. Notable violations include an active C-class violation from December 2024 regarding a roach infestation in Apartment 10, and various B and C violations related to paint/plaster issues in Apartments 10 and 31. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing concerns with building systems and resident amenities, including a 2025 inspection for unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, and plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower.
The elevator system has been a particular focus of regulatory attention, with multiple active environmental control board violations as of 2024-2025 relating to brake maintenance and emergency phone functionality. While the building has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations in recent years, the recurring nature of electrical outages, pest problems, and maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has undergone various inspections and received numerous violations across different areas, including safety systems (carbon monoxide detectors), doorway issues, and plumbing fixtures, with some violations classified as "immediate emergency" requiring prompt attention.
