230 Bradhurst Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039

The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 230 Bradhurst Avenue in Harlem, owned by Stanley Celius, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in May 2025, multiple plumbing-related complaints were documented, including water supply problems and bathtub/shower issues, with HPD inspection attempts to assess the conditions being unsuccessful. Earlier in 2025, there were also complaints regarding water leaks, heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, and various paint/plaster problems.

The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2024 in apartment 3A, related to defective plastered surfaces and persistent pest infestations (roaches and mice). Additionally, there are two open violations from September 2024 in apartment 1A concerning water leaks and pest issues. The property has shown a pattern of plumbing and maintenance challenges, with eight relevant service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed between February and May 2025. Historical data reveals concerns about illegal conversions in 2020-2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

A water leak violation issued in February 2025 and a heavy flow water leak complaint in June 2025 indicate recurring plumbing problems. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years, including most recently in May 2025, the presence of pest violations in 3A and 1A suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations since 2019. A significant portion of the documented issues relates to water supply, plumbing, and pest control, with some violations remaining unresolved for extended periods.
