203 West 146th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039

203 West 146th Street is an 8-story, 65-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 2010 and currently owned by Malcolm Pu+nter. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple service requests and emergency complaints indicating building-wide problems that resulted in HPD violations being issued.

These recent heating system failures follow a pattern of similar issues reported from March to June 2025. The building has also faced water supply problems, as evidenced by multiple plumbing-related emergency complaints in June 2025, and there are three active Heating Maintenance Code violations as of this report. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant concerns, including a bedbug infestation reported in 2024 affecting five units (with no documented eradication), a pattern of heating system access issues documented through multiple violations, and inadequate hot water supply affecting numerous apartments (3F, 4D, 4F, 4K, 8A, and 8C).

While some violations have been resolved, including a prior cockroach infestation in apartment 4F, the building currently has active violations related to the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report and energy efficiency score display. Additional concerns include rodent activity documented between 2023 and 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity or bait application. The elevator system has also been a recurring focus of complaints, with an active complaint as of April 2025 regarding multiple devices on the property, following a similar concern in December 2018.
