303 West 137th Street is a 6-story, 16-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Joseph Jemal. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water-related problems and unsanitary conditions. Most notably, there are currently active emergency complaints from June 2025 regarding heavy water leaks and mold, with previous similar issues documented in 2024 and 2025.

The building has also faced multiple heating and hot water complaints, including an emergency incident in November 2024, though some heat-related issues were resolved during HPD inspections. A significant building code violation relates to an illegal duplex conversion involving Apartment 1B and the cellar, which remains active with a $1,250 penalty, though previous violations regarding unauthorized construction and occupancy were addressed in 2020 and 2024. The property has undergone various repairs and inspections over the past few years, including addressing ventilation system issues, pest control measures, and multiple plumbing concerns.

Recent inspections show consistent passing results for rodent control, with no infestations reported between 2021 and 2023. The building's maintenance history indicates regular repairs have been made to address various violations, including bathroom fixtures, roof leaks, and mold conditions. While most previous violations have been resolved, some remain open or have only recently been addressed, particularly concerning water leakage and sanitation issues. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with no reported infestations in recent years, and all bedbug reports filed according to HPD requirements.
