200 Bradhurst Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039

200 Bradhurst Avenue is a 6-story, 41-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Matthew Schmelzer. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints in May 2025 alone regarding water leaks, mold, and door problems, several of which resulted in violations being issued. Previous violations from August 2024 in Apartment 31 included mold issues, problems with walls, and missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though most of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building's plumbing system appears to be a persistent concern, with multiple water leak complaints throughout 2025, as well as earlier complaints in 2024 involving sinks and toilets. The building has undergone various inspections and complaint investigations over the years, including rodent inspections, which have mostly resulted in "Passed" ratings, though there was one failure noted in October 2024. Additional historical complaints include issues with illegal hotel rooms and conversions in 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these claims.

Recent building management has shown some attention to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the timely submission of energy benchmarking reports, though there was a violation issued for failure to file in 2023 that was later dismissed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero reported infestations. A significant number of 311 service requests have been logged in 2023-2025, indicating ongoing maintenance needs, particularly related to water issues, mold, and general building systems.
