147 West 143rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 6-story, 19-unit residential building at 147 West 143rd Street in Harlem, owned by Gra Iv Llc, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since its construction in 2005. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water issues, with three documented emergencies in October 2022 affecting the entire building, and a recent incident in late November 2024 affecting at least one apartment.
The building currently has multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including safety concerns related to the 6th-story bulkhead door (defective hinges, illegal slide bolts, and improper fastening) as well as access issues to the heating system at the roof boiler room. A specific individual apartment violation was also noted in December 2024 regarding inadequate hot water in apartment 6A. Rodent activity appears to be an ongoing concern, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently indicating rat presence, though not all inspections have resulted in violations.
The building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. While the building has passed some recent rodent inspections, the frequency of rat activity reports suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The property's relatively young age and persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, indicate that basic infrastructure problems have persisted since construction.
