AI summary · updated June 2026

145 West 145th Street is a 30-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Israel Twerski. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 including a heat/hot water emergency (April) and a pest infestation (February) where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. A pattern of access issues has been apparent in multiple complaints, as seen in several October 2024 reports regarding pests, mold, electrical problems, and appliance issues, though some complaints were investigated without violations being found. The building has documented electrical, door, and appliance problems, along with multiple pest-related complaints, and evidence of rodent activity has been recorded in 2023 (July) and 2025 (January) inspections. Several housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2022 for Apartment 33, including issues with paint requirements and window guards, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The building's history includes two years of bedbug reporting (2022-2024) indicating infestation in 2020-2021 with no subsequent re-infestations. Investigations in 2018 raised concerns about an illegal cellar apartment which was ultimately classified as "Unable To Gain Access." Property maintenance patterns show improvements in certain areas, such as a passed rodent inspection in July 2025 following a failed inspection in January 2025. The building's owners have responded to various HPD and DOB inspections, with some repairs and compliance actions taking place, though the recurrence of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. While a number of recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of many issues and the difficulty in gaining access for inspections raises concerns about consistent maintenance response and communication within the building.
