219 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
219 West 145th Street is a 6-story, 56-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Sam Klein. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and April that required emergency response from HPD. Unfortunately, inspectors were repeatedly unable to access units to confirm the conditions, leaving several complaints unresolved.
An open complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions also remains outstanding. The building has a documented rodent problem, with multiple inspection results showing rat activity and bait application between August 2024 and May 2025. Recent inspection history reveals several maintenance concerns, including a 2024 violation for defective self-closing doors in public areas, and a disturbing pattern of violations in Apartment 9 (3rd floor) in May 2024, including issues with mold, vermin (flies), and malfunctioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building's boiler registration compliance is currently under scrutiny, with two active ECB violations from December 2020 regarding unregistered boilers, each carrying a $625 penalty. Historical data shows various permit-related violations between 2018-2019, with some resulting in penalties for failure to comply with commissioner's orders. Despite these issues, the building's bedbug reports from 2021 to present show no infestations, and the property has maintained regular permit filings for electrical and plumbing work as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2019.
