151 East 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
151 East 96th Street is a 12-unit, 5-story old law tenement building located in East Harlem, dating back to 1920 and currently owned by Katje Hilken. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and January 2025, affecting both entire building and individual apartments.
While some complaints were resolved, two heating incidents in January 2025 and December 2024 resulted in HPD unable to gain access for inspection. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows no infestations recorded during any of the annual reporting periods, and the property has maintained a generally positive rodent inspection record, passing most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted in July and February 2024. The building has undergone various inspections and received violations over the years, including a 2017 violation concerning broken plaster and paint in hallway near apartment 4N, which was certified as resolved in June 2023.
Recent incidents include a mobile food vendor complaint regarding smoke and odor in March 2025, and a food establishment complaint in July 2024. The property has had a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all annual filings indicating zero infested or eradicated units. While the building has faced multiple heating system challenges, these issues appear to have been addressed, with no new heating complaints reported since January 2025 up to the present date.
