313 West 137th Street, Manhattan, NY 10030

The three-story, one-unit building at 313 West 137th Street in Harlem, owned by Mae Duncan and constructed in 1901, has experienced several notable maintenance and inspection issues in recent years, with particular emphasis on external safety compliance and pest management. Most recently, there are currently three active Department of Buildings violations (dating from 2023-2024) regarding the failure to file required External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2021-2023, which are still pending resolution.

The building has a consistent record of bedbug report violations, all of which were listed as Class A violations, occurring annually from 2021 through 2024, though recent filings indicate no infestations during the specified periods, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported in the latest 2022-2023 filing. The property has maintained generally positive rodent and pest control outcomes, with multiple passed inspections between 2019 and 2025, showing effective management of rodent presence, except for one instance of "Rat Activity" noted during a November 2023 inspection.

A recent complaint regarding water retention or drainage issues was filed in March 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification during both of their final attempts in June 2025. The building's violation and inspection history suggests ongoing challenges with meeting certain regulatory requirements, particularly regarding external safety inspections and documentation, while maintaining generally satisfactory conditions in terms of rodent control and bedbug management, with all violations being addressed through subsequent compliance actions.
