409 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The three-story, two-unit building at 409 West 147th Street in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1896 and currently owned by Tyrone Stanton, has experienced several notable issues over its recent history. The most significant problems emerged in late 2018, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water, as well as cooking gas problems, particularly affecting the 3rd Floor apartment.

These resulted in several violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though some were subsequently resolved. A concerning pattern has emerged over the past five years (2019-2024), with the building receiving four consecutive violations related to the Failure to File Annual Bedbug Reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent citation in April 2024 remaining open. The property underwent an illegal conversion complaint investigation in June 2025, though inspectors found no violations at the time.

On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 through May 2025, indicating effective pest control measures. The building class is noted as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B," suggesting it was previously converted to meet different usage standards, though the current configuration is two residential units. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over time, it shows areas of compliance with regular inspections, particularly regarding rodent control, and the recent illegal conversion complaint was resolved without findings of concern.
