208 West 138th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
208 West 138th Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Joseph Aizer. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations over the past few years, most notably regarding lead paint hazard compliance.
Between 2019-2020, multiple Class C violations were documented concerning lead paint hazard documentation requirements in apartments 3, 4, and 7, while more recent inspections in 2024 and 2022 revealed missing annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has faced two notable service complaints regarding heat and hot water issues in 2022, and a window safety concern in 2019, though none of these resulted in penalties or long-term violations.
Recent inspections show generally good maintenance standards, with all rodent inspections from 2022-2025 passing, and no reported bedbug infestations or issues in the past five years. The building's most current inspection, conducted in April 2025, also passed successfully. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding historical lead paint compliance and bedbug reporting, most recent records indicate improved compliance and maintenance practices, with no major recent violations or resident complaints affecting safety or comfort.
