234 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039

234 West 148th Street is a seven-story, 34-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Staci Cox. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over several years, with the most recent complaints in March 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Similar heat-related complaints were documented in 2018 and 2019, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The property has also faced water leakage problems, with heavy flow incidents reported in April and August of 2019. The building has undergone several safety inspections and repairs, with violations issued in 2023 related to missing smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and proper building identification requirements, though these were certified as corrected by June 2023. The building has maintained good pest control standards, with consistent rodent inspection pass results from 2018 through 2025, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years.

While there was a facade-related safety violation imposed in 2019 with a $10,000 penalty, this was resolved. The property has shown compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units. Recent inspections in 2023 revealed no current violations, though historical violations related to heating system problems and water leakage still appear in the records. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance activity, with multiple emergency work permits issued between 2019 and 2022, indicating ongoing attention to building infrastructure and systems.
