151 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

151 East 30th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit old law tenement building built in 1930 and currently owned by Ashley Hernandez. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centering around pest management. In July 2024, a complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests was filed and closed without violations being issued.

Prior rodent issues were documented in May 2023 (with violations noted) and inspections from 2023-2025 showed multiple instances of rat activity, though a compliance inspection in April 2025 resulted in a "Passed" status. The building has faced significant heating and water supply challenges, particularly documented between late 2021 and early 2022, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues that affected both individual apartments and the entire building. Other historical maintenance issues include problems with doors/windows (December 2021), plumbing (January 2022), and garbage/recycling storage (October 2022), though many of these complaints were closed with corrections verified by HPD. The building's recent history shows improved pest management practices, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspection results.

There are also violations on record regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2023 and 2024, though the bedbug reports themselves indicate no infested units or eradication efforts were necessary during the reporting periods. The Department of Buildings conducted several inspections between 2021-2023, with some violations related to tenant protection plans and housekeeping noted in December 2021. However, recent building systems appear to have stabilized, with the most recent rodent inspections showing positive outcomes. The building has maintained its bedbug-free status according to the most recent filings, and while there were historical issues with heating and plumbing systems, these appear to have been mostly resolved.
