461 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The six-story, 24-unit building at 461 West 148th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Gideon Stryker, has experienced consistent heating and maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between December 2024 and February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has had difficulty gaining access to units for inspections during several of these complaints, though one recent heating issue was reported to be resolved.

The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including pest issues in December 2024 affecting at least one apartment (1C), as well as problems with mold and water leaks in early 2024. The property has recorded various maintenance violations, particularly in apartment 1C during 2024, including issues with mold, water leaks, and pest infestations. There were also violations noted in December 2024 regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions in apartment 1D.

The building, constructed in 1920 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has consistently passed rodent inspections, most recently in February 2025. While there have been several Department of Buildings complaints regarding the building's facade and various maintenance issues between 2018 and 2025, including a 2020 inspection that noted peeling plaster issues, these complaints were generally resolved without violation. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug issues over the past several years, with no reported infestations since 2018.
