151 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
151 West 145th Street is a 6-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building located in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and owned by Kenneth Morrison. The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services, most recently evidenced by power outages in January 2025 and December 2024, and a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2024. Water-related problems have been particularly persistent, with multiple complaints documented between 2021 and 2024 regarding leaks, including heavy flow and slow leaks, though some inspections were unable to access affected areas.
The building's infrastructure is currently a major concern, with active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 indicating significant facade and structural issues, including cracked terra cotta, spalled materials, and a particularly concerning incident in October 2023 involving a roof cornice failure. Recent inspections have shown compliance with rodent control requirements, passing six consecutive inspections between 2018 and 2025. The building's bedbug management report for 2023-2024 indicates no infestations, with all units reportedly eradicated with no re-infestations within the reporting period.
However, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 regarding the first story public hall area, including issues with self-closing doors, lighting, and various maintenance concerns. The property has experienced multiple instances of heat and hot water service interruptions, as well as problems with electrical systems, though most recent electrical complaints have not resulted in documented violations. While the building has passed all recent rodent inspections and maintained a bedbug-free status, the ongoing issues with basic services and active facade violations suggest continuing maintenance challenges.
