203 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
203 West 147th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Andrew Kleiman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and November 2024, including several emergency complaints that were temporarily resolved but indicate ongoing systemic problems with building infrastructure. The property has documented pest issues, with recent violations for roaches in apartments 2A, 2B, and 3A (2024) as well as a confirmed bedbug infestation in 2024, though rodent inspections in 2024-2025 show passing results with some rat activity noted.
Additional concerns include an open violation for mold in apartment 5B (2024) and multiple complaints about self-closing door issues. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, including a significant violation in 2022 regarding fire escape safety, though this was eventually resolved. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 demonstrate persistent heating system problems, with multiple reports of inadequate heat/hot water service.
Housing Maintenance Code inspections have revealed various violations, including unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues, though many of these complaints have been closed. The property's current state shows a mix of ongoing maintenance needs and historical compliance issues, with recent complaints primarily centered around heating systems and pest control. The building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though the frequency of recent heating complaints indicates particular attention required in this area.
