45 Hamilton Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 4-story, 10-unit building at 45 Hamilton Terrace in Hamilton Heights, owned by Hastie Lowther and constructed in 1899, has experienced recurrent maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple cooking gas complaints in 2025 (April, March) that have received emergency response from HPD, with at least one resulting in violations. The building's maintenance history also reveals persistent plumbing and sanitation challenges, including open violations as of 2025 related to garbage/recycling storage, and historical issues with the kitchen range, bathroom fixtures, and rodent infestation in Apartment 10.

The property has accumulated several open violations with the Department of Buildings, most concerning the failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports between 2023-2024, including a current active penalty of $655. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, previous inspections in 2022-2023 indicated rat activity. The building's service request history shows various maintenance issues affecting resident comfort and safety, including a power outage in March 2025, mailbox problems (September 2024), and multiple plumbing concerns.

Significant violations from August 2024 affecting Apartment 10 include broken fixtures, inadequate water supply issues, and an infestation requiring abatement. The property has seen some attention to its infrastructure, with Department of Buildings complaints related to boiler and gas system concerns in 2019 and 2021, though inspectors were often unable to complete their evaluations. The combination of open violations, recent service requests, and maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and resident amenities that require monitoring.
