614 West 138th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 7-unit, 4-story building at 614 West 138th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Mark Schik and constructed in 1920, has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there have been multiple inspections revealing rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in May and July 2025 showing continued rat presence.
The building has also faced significant issues in Apartment 7, including open violations as of October 2024 for rodent infestations (both mice and roaches), problems with window guards, and a defective smoke detector. Other recent complaints have included sanitary issues (both mold and pests) in 2024-2025, and a heat/hot water problem in February 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both sanitary and safety concerns, including a 2019 window guard violation and various repair needs such as a broken sink cabinet and ceiling maintenance.
There are also active violations regarding the failure to file required inspection reports for both external low pressure and boiler systems in 2023 and 2019, respectively. Previous complaints about illegal conversions and hotel rooms in 2019-2020, though closed, indicate past concerns about unauthorized building uses. While there have been consistent bedbug inspections from 2019-2024 showing no reported infestations, the building's rodent issues and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant safety.
