241 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
241 West 137th Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Robert Abrams. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, particularly evident in early 2025 when several emergency complaints were filed and investigated, with at least one violation confirmed through inspection. These issues follow a notable pattern, as there were also multiple heat-related complaints in mid-2023, though some were closed without violations due to inspection access issues.
The building's maintenance history shows various other concerns, including a significant water leak incident in March 2023 that resulted in violations, and multiple housing violations in 2023 and 2022 affecting different units, such as mold issues in apartment 5A and infestation concerns in apartment 3A. More recent inspections and reports provide some positive developments: the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2022, with all recent inspections passing. Additionally, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2024, 2023, and 2022), suggesting effective pest management.
As of August 2023, there are open violations for apartment 5A related to mold and painting requirements, and for apartment 1A regarding ceiling repairs. The building previously experienced issues with window frames and ceiling conditions in 2020-2021, though these violations were ultimately resolved. A complaint regarding a defective boiler in April 2022 was investigated but found not to warrant any violations at the time.
