469 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The three-story, four-unit residential building at 469 West 140th Street, owned by Talib Hakim-el, has experienced several concerning patterns over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file required annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules.
The building previously faced significant regulatory scrutiny in early 2020, when inspections revealed illegal transient use including illegal hotel room activities, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $6,050 in penalties related to fire alarm systems, means of egress, and improper building use. Although these ECB violations were resolved, there were subsequent enforcement actions in 2020 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, though these later violations were dismissed.
Recent pest control inspections reveal an ongoing rodent issue, with multiple inspections from late 2023 through 2025 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspections in June 2025 and December 2024 have passed. The building's management has shown some effort to address these issues, as evidenced by bait applications in fall 2023 and multiple compliance inspections. The property has maintained its classification as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B building, dating back to its 1902 construction in Hamilton Heights, and currently has four residential units in addition to its historical illegal transient use issues.
