203 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
203 West 140th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Northern Man Equities. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple water leak complaints documented as "heavy flow" between April and June 2025, including one that resulted in violations.
Notable concerns also include an open paint/plaster issue from April 2025, an unsanitary condition related to pests reported in June 2025, and several heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, with some violations issued in January. The building has three open violations from December 2024 related to inadequate heat and roach infestations in apartments 2C and 5C, as well as "scalding hot water" exceeding 130 degrees in unit 2C. Recent rodent inspections show a pattern of activity, with rat activity recorded in January 2025, November 2023, and January 2024, though the most recent May 2025 inspection passed.
The building's maintenance history reveals several safety and habitability concerns, including multiple heat/hot water issues in late 2024 that led to violations, problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 5C, and various plumbing and appliance issues documented through 311 complaints. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases from 2019-2025, the persistent nature of the current water leaks, heating issues, and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent inspection for both bedbugs and rodents in May 2025 indicates that while no current infestations are present, the building continues to require attention to basic maintenance and safety systems.
