209 West 138th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 209 West 138th Street in Harlem, owned by Stacy Lynch, has been in operation since 1891 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The property has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, particularly in December 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding the entire building's HVAC systems, though these issues were reportedly resolved following HPD's intervention.
More concerning is the building's persistent failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations from 2021 through 2024 indicating that the property has not filed the necessary annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a good track record in terms of rodent control, successfully passing multiple inspections between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent inspection occurring in March 2025 showing compliance.
The property's HPD inspection history reveals a generally responsive management approach to maintenance issues, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest some challenges in meeting all housing maintenance code requirements. While the heating system problems in late 2018 raised temporary concerns about resident comfort, there have been no similar heating complaints in recent years, and the building's overall maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control and rodent prevention measures.
