402 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 11-unit, 4-story building at 402 West 145th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Benjamin Ennis and constructed in 1897, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 External Low-Pressure Inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date.

The building has faced recurring bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2023, though the most recent bedbug report from February 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting some progress in this area. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2017 and 2025, with varying results. While most inspections have passed, there have been notable rat activity findings in late 2024, particularly in October and December.

The building's management has maintained regular inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passing successfully. The history from 2017 through 2023 shows consistent attention to compliance requirements, though the outstanding Low-Pressure Inspection violation and periodic rodent activity suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control. The property's age and history of maintenance violations highlight the importance of continued monitoring of building conditions and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
