612 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
612 West 140th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Clara Mendez. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most serious being a heat and hot water outage in November 2021 that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days.
There is an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of the latest data in 2023. The building has consistently failed to submit its required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, receiving Class A violations in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021 for this infraction.
On a positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, achieving passing results in multiple rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025, with the most recent inspections in June 2025, December 2024, and June 2024 all showing compliance. The building's bedbug infestation status appears to be currently acceptable, with the most recent report filed in March 2024 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the period between November 2022 and October 2023. While the building has demonstrated consistent attention to rodent control and has shown improvement in bedbug management, the unresolved heat/hot water incident and the outstanding low-pressure inspection violation warrant attention.
