150 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

150 West 111th Street is a 6-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Catherine Yu. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three heat/hot water complaints in the past 16 months (most recently in December 2024) affecting the entire building. These complaints have generally been addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access for inspections has sometimes been an issue.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including multiple housing maintenance code violations identified in 2022 affecting apartments 1C, 3A, and 4A, relating to safety systems like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as issues including mold, plumbing, and appliance problems. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in February 2025 passing all requirements, though there have been some concerning results, such as a "Rat Activity" finding in February 2024. Building safety systems have been a focus of attention, with violations noted for fire door issues in 2022 (though some were later closed) and concerns about after-hours work documented in July 2021.

The building has consistently maintained an active bedbug monitoring record, with no reported infestations since 2017. Importantly, there appear to be two open violations as of the latest records relating to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality in Apartment 1C, and historical delays in filing required safety reports (FISP Cycle 8B and 9B) have been documented, though it's noted that multiple complaints/violations resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings during inspections. The building has generally maintained good documentation of inspections and compliance efforts, as evidenced by the consistent filing of bedbug and rodent inspection reports.
