269 West 153rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10039
269 West 153rd Street is a 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Harlem, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jennifer Nobles. The 15-unit building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints logged in 2024 (most recent), 2023 (multiple instances), and 2018. The most recent heating complaint in December 2024 was closed without HPD gaining access to inspect the conditions.
The building has also faced water-related challenges, including a heavy flow water leak complaint in 2022-2024 and plumbing issues in 2019. A significant boiler-related violation was documented in October 2024, with the chamber door and flue door found to have incorrect gasket material, resulting in an active penalty of $655. Recent inspections show active maintenance concerns, including an open violation as of April 2024 regarding refuse accumulation in the west yard, and historical issues in Apartment 10 from 2019 involving bathroom repairs.
The building has maintained a mostly compliant record for pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2021-2025). However, rodent control has been variable, with inspections in 2024 showing rat activity in March and possible activity in May, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed. The property has two active DOB violations from June 2023 for failure to file 2019 and 2020 external low-pressure inspections, and an October 2024 boiler-related Oath violation is also listed as active.
