Questions about this building

Does 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan had 20 open violations on October 10, 2026: 19 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since December 10, 2018.

Is 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 13 certifications filed and 8 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 27 Class C violations, all 27 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for January 21, 2027. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Has 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan been in housing court?

Yes. 2 housing court cases here since 2025. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 4, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened March 11, 2024, awarded for $295. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was the boiler at 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on January 7. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On January 19, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan have a property tax exemption?

The building has an Article XI tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 15 residential units at 203 West 140 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
