150 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

150 Manhattan Avenue is a 5-story, 17-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper West Side, dating back to 1920 and currently owned by Amit Attar. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded throughout 2024-2025 indicating significant challenges with these essential services. Most recently, in March 2025, a complaint about inadequate heat and hot water in the entire building was closed when HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building also has several open maintenance issues from December 2024, including problems with electrical lighting, an electric/gas range, and a smoke detector. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 5A, which has open violations regarding roof leaks, defective bathroom ventilation, and hot water issues. The building's infrastructure continues to show signs of wear and requires attention to basic systems. A cluster of complaints from late 2024 indicates various appliance issues, including problems with refrigerators and plumbing fixtures that HPD inspectors were unable to access for verification.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in August 2024), though there were periods of rat activity reported in 2022-2023 that required attention. The property was previously investigated for possible illegal hotel rooms in 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access to complete the investigation. Despite these challenges, the building's bedbug reports from 2021-2025 show no documented infestations, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The combination of recurring heat and hot water issues, along with various open maintenance violations, indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort that require monitoring.
