407 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

407 West 145th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Allan Heussinger. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six complaints filed between 2024-2025 indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In April 2025, multiple inspections were conducted revealing several violations, including unsanitary mold conditions, flooring problems, and issues with cabinets and walls.

Notably, there are four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from July 2024 related to Apartment 1E, including problems with multiple doors and windows, as well as Class C violations from May 2024 concerning rodent infestations (both mice and roaches) in the same unit. The building's mechanical systems have faced scrutiny, particularly regarding the boiler. Three violation notices were issued in 2021-2022 for various boiler-related issues, including exposed wiring, improperly supported flue pipes, and registration problems.

The Department of Buildings has recorded three separate boiler defect cases between 2021-2022, all resulting in Oath Violations being served. While rodent activity was noted in multiple inspections throughout 2024, recent inspections in 2025 show compliance status has improved. The building has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation record since 2019, with no reported cases in the past six years. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown the building has passed rodent inspections, though there were multiple bait applications required between July 2024 and November 2024, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts were necessary.
