453 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
453 West 140th Street in Hamilton Heights is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Kurt Rosenfeld. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over several years, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between 2020-2021 documenting rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. Most recently, in 2023 and 2024, there have been consistent rodent inspection results, including periods of rat activity and bait application, though the building passed initial inspections in 2025.
The building is currently facing three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports. While there were also several Department of Buildings complaints about unpermitted work and a gas utility referral in 2021-2022, inspections did not warrant any violations at the time. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with the most recent initial inspection in June 2025 showing compliance.
Despite the building's age and historical pest issues, the most recent inspections indicate some level of improvement in rodent management. The bedbug reporting period from 2019-2020 showed no documented infestations, though this was prior to the current open violations for failing to submit required reports. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with pest management, though recent inspections show consistent attempts at compliance and improvement.
