155 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039

155 West 145th Street in Harlem is a 6-story, 17-unit residential building dating back to 1910, currently owned by Kenneth Morrison. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, most recently in December 2024. The building has been subject to several emergency complaints regarding plumbing issues, including toilet problems in April 2023 and water supply concerns in June 2022.

Significant recent structural and safety concerns include multiple active violations related to the building's exterior, with fines totaling $25,000 issued in 2024 for failures to maintain the facade, including cracked and spalling masonry and terra-cotta elements. A major incident occurred in October 2023 when a section of roof cornice fell, leading to emergency work orders and the requirement for professional inspection of the roof cornice and facade. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in recent inspections.

However, there have been concerns noted in rodent inspections, with failed inspections for "other reasons" in early 2025 and a pattern of passing and failing results in previous years. The property's heating system has been a persistent issue, with multiple complaints filed through 311 services and HPD regarding system failures, though most have been resolved promptly by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The building's maintenance history includes several housing maintenance code violations, particularly related to bedbug reporting requirements in previous years.
