159 East 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

159 East 92nd Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Nader Ohebshalom. The building has experienced a significant number of maintenance issues over the past year, with particular concerns in late 2024 including multiple violations related to safety systems (smoke detector issues), plumbing problems (sink and water supply), and general maintenance (walls requiring attention).

The building's heating system has also come under scrutiny, with a heat/hot water complaint in October 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. An inspection of Apartment 26 in November 2024 revealed several violations including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, leaky kitchen faucets, and issues with plaster and paint in the bathroom, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's mechanical systems have shown some concerning history, particularly in late 2022 when there were issues with the boiler system that resulted in violations for elevated CO readings and water leakage, though these were resolved with a penalty of $1,250.

While the building has seen some rodent activity in the past, recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have passed without issues. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting showing zero cases in the past five years, which is a positive aspect of the building's maintenance history. The building's violations and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing, safety systems, and general infrastructure, though many recent violations have been addressed through correction or compliance inspections.
