202 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The 6-story, 69-unit building at 202 West 141st Street in Harlem, owned by Erika Brandt, has experienced recurring heating issues in recent years, with multiple heat and hot water complaints documented between January 2023 and November 2024. Specifically, there were three building-wide complaints in November 2024 alone, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced several elevator service concerns, with at least ten "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" complaints between 2019 and 2023, though inspections often found no violations warranting citations.

In 2023, violations were issued for failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years, which remains an active issue as of September 2024. While the building has had various maintenance issues, many have been addressed promptly. In March 2023, violations were recorded in apartment 6A regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective self-closing doors, and window frame issues.

Earlier, there were concerns about mice infestation and water leaks in apartment 4A in 2019, though these violations were resolved. The property has maintained relatively good rodent control, with consistent passing inspections from 2019 through 2025, though a "Rat Activity" result was noted in July 2021. Bedbug activity appears to have been relatively contained, with most recent filings showing zero infested units in 2024-2025, following the resolution of two cases in 2022-2023. The building underwent several safety inspections and only received one emergency violation related to elevator service in 2021-2022.
