528 West 136th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The six-story, 37-unit building at 528 West 136th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Novak Vukasinovic and constructed in 1926, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most pressing are current elevator concerns, with active complaints about a single device with no alternate service remaining unresolved since April 2025, following multiple similar complaints between 2024-2025. The building has also faced persistent infrastructure challenges, including flooring problems (open since June 2025), multiple heating and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, and various paint and plaster deficiencies documented in March 2025.
Significant violations were issued in 2024 regarding lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 2, while the building has experienced repeated issues with garbage/recycling storage conditions, as evidenced by both 311 calls and Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024-2025. The property has active violations related to failure to file required building inspection reports and energy efficiency documentation, including external low-pressure inspections from 2019-2020 and benchmarking reports from 2020-2023. Previous serious concerns included potential illegal occupancy in the basement and unauthorized construction, though these violations were certified as resolved in 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints, particularly regarding heating systems and elevator functionality. While bedbug reports have shown no infestations between 2019-2025, recent rodent inspections have indicated varying results, with some showing rat activity in 2024. The property's current open violations and service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life and safety, particularly regarding elevator reliability and building systems maintenance.
