The 6-story, 23-unit residential building at 160 West 142nd Street in Harlem, built in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns emerging in late 2024. Most recently, in November 2024, there were complaints about mold and ceiling issues that HPD was unable to inspect despite being classified as immediate emergencies. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple plumbing and water supply complaints between 2021-2022, including heavy water flow issues and water supply concerns.
Apartment 6B has been the focus of several significant violations and complaints, including outstanding issues from 2022 regarding paint, window sill repairs, leaks, and mold. The building's management has faced scrutiny for housing code compliance, with several Housing Maintenance Code violations noted between 2019-2022, including problems with roof leaks, plaster surfaces, and window frames. The property has a mixed track record regarding pest control, with bedbug infestations reported in 2020 and subsequent years, though recent filings from 2022-2024 show eradicated units with no current infestations.
The building's management faced significant issues in 2020 regarding illegal hotel room use, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to fire safety, means of egress, and sprinkler system requirements, though these were resolved with penalties. More recent inspections for rodents have generally shown compliance, with the most recent inspection in 2025 passing requirements. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with prompt inspection access and resolution verification, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD was unable to complete inspections of reported conditions between 2021-2024, including recent complaints about mold and ceiling issues.
