Questions about this building

Does 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan had 37 open violations on September 27, 2026: 37 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 7 years, since November 27, 2018.

Is 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 13 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 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 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 6 Class C violations, all 6 after 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 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 2 active DOB violations, most of them for low-pressure boilers. The newest was issued April 25, 2023. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened October 7, 2023, awarded for $2,000. 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 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on January 9. 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.

Is 227 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.

When was 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 227 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 apartment building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 227 West 140 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 10 residential units at 227 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection 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.
