220 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
220 West 149th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Edith Cardona. The building has experienced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple 311 complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and rodent activity recorded from 2024 through mid-2025.
Most recently, in June 2025, multiple service requests were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, plumbing issues, and cabinet problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in response to these complaints. The building has also faced several plumbing and maintenance issues, with emergency complaints about water supply and sink problems in June 2025, and historical violations in apartment 24 related to infestations, plumbing repairs, and various maintenance issues documented between 2024 and 2025. The property has a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, including recent inspections in July 2025.
Earlier violations from 2024 indicate issues with egress access and some safety concerns, though many historical complaints have been resolved or were found to have no violations upon inspection. The building's owners have faced various regulatory challenges, including a 2024 citation for improperly stored furniture blocking a hallway, and historical issues with construction permits and plumbing work that resulted in a stop work order in 2019. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building has experienced persistent maintenance and pest control challenges that appear to have continued into 2025.
