216 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10030
The five-story tenement building at 216 West 141st Street in Harlem, owned by Rick Herman, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly related to water issues and sanitation concerns. Most notably, between June and October 2024, there were multiple incidents of water leaks reported, with the most serious cases categorized as "heavy flow," though not all resulted in violations.
The building has also faced recurring issues with mold, with separate complaints filed in July and October 2024, though HPD inspections found no violations in these cases. Plumbing problems have been another significant concern, with violations recorded in July 2024 related to bathtub/showers and basins/sinks, along with radiator issues reported in October 2024. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results: while most recent inspections in 2023 and 2025 passed, the building failed a November 2024 inspection.
A comprehensive inspection in July 2024 resulted in multiple violations primarily affecting Apartment 1B, including issues with walls, moldings, ceilings, various fixtures (including a defective bathtub), and door locks. Despite these challenges, the building has a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all filings from 2019 through 2024 showing zero reported cases. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with many being certified as corrected by late 2024, though the recurring nature of some issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
