526 West 139th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
526 West 139th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by David Natanov. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there are current open violations in apartment 16 related to lead paint hazards and unsanitary conditions including rodent and pest infestations. The building has exhibited recurring pest problems, with multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unsanitary conditions, including mold, pests, and paint/plaster issues.
Apartment 16 has been specifically noted for rodent infestations, along with concerning conditions regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detection systems, though these latter violations were closed in October 2024. The property experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in 2024, including door/window problems across different apartments, and a documented refrigerator issue that did not result in violations. A notable incident involving the building's front stoop was addressed in early 2024. Bedbug activity was reported in 2025 with one infested unit, though the infestation was subsequently eradicated.
The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing these checks from 2016 through 2025. Previous years' bedbug reports (2019-2024) show minimal infestation history, with only one reported case in 2025. The building's permit history from 2016-2019 shows multiple issued permits for plumbing and electrical work, though specific details on the nature of these improvements are not provided in the available data. The current condition of 526 West 139th Street raises several concerns regarding resident safety and comfort, particularly regarding the open violations related to lead paint hazards, pest infestations, and various maintenance issues. The building has a documented history of both pest and maintenance challenges, with a pattern of violations that suggest ongoing compliance enforcement issues, particularly in the most recent inspection periods.
