221 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The 6-unit, 4-story building at 221 West 139th Street in Harlem, owned by David Hakakian, was constructed in 1891 and has been classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" building. The property has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in May 2025, including violations related to ceiling paint/plaster, unsanitary conditions (pests), and cabinet problems.
The building underwent a comprehensive inspection on December 26, 2024, revealing multiple Class C violations that remain open, including issues with self-closing doors (at the building entrance and specific to apartment 3F), inadequate hot water and heat supply in apartment 3F, and problems with the building's heating system access. Historical records show recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints in 2025 alone, though the most recent rodent inspections (conducted regularly) have consistently passed since 2019. A bedbug reporting system shows no infestations reported from 2020 through 2024.
The building's emergency maintenance history from early 2025 includes multiple issues requiring attention, such as concerns with electric/gas ranges, plumbing, and heat/hot water throughout the building. A 2021 complaint regarding a defective boiler was investigated but resulted in no violations being found at that time. The property has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections between 2017 and 2025.
