212 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 18-unit, 6-story building at 212 West 140th Street in Harlem, owned by Craig Livingston, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water problems reported in late 2023 and 2024, including a December 2023 incident that resulted in violations being issued, though more recent inspections in December 2024 found no violations.

The building has also faced safety concerns, with complaints about broken window guards in 2024 and December 2023, plus issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in December 2023, all of which were inspected but resulted in no violations. Additional maintenance issues have included problems with paint and plaster in various areas, including a violation for peeling paint in Apartment 3B in September 2024. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing pest control challenges, particularly in Apartments 3B and 6C, with open violations for mouse infestations as of December 2024.

The building has also undergone several rodent inspections, with mixed results including instances of rat activity in October 2024 and November 2023, though a compliance inspection in April 2025 passed. While the building has had multiple violations and complaints requiring attention, it is worth noting that most recent complaints from 2024 have been addressed, with many being closed following inspections that found no violations. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no documented infestations or treatments reported in the past five years.
