143 West 142nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
This five-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building on West 142nd Street in Harlem, owned by Karim Huttson and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in early 2025. Most notably, there was a cluster of plumbing-related complaints in March 2025 involving basins/sinks (multiple units), bathtubs/showers, and toilets, as well as electric and unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations.
These complaints, which were categorized as emergencies, were closed due to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department's inability to gain access to the affected units during inspection attempts. Earlier in 2025, similar access issues were encountered regarding complaints about heat/hot water and door problems, all filed in January 2025.
The building's maintenance history also includes two boiler-related complaints in 2020 and 2022, with the 2020 incident resulting in an Oath Violation and the 2022 complaint showing no violations upon inspection. Additionally, there is currently an active complaint entered in January 2025 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections. While the frequency of maintenance issues and the inability to complete inspections suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has remained operational and compliant with basic requirements.
