409 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

409 West 148th Street is a 5-unit, 3-story residential building in Hamilton Heights owned by Stephanie Kirnon and dating back to 1896. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing current concerns centered around paint and plaster problems, particularly in the ceilings and walls, as evidenced by multiple open complaints filed in January 2025.

A steam pipe/riser plumbing issue was also reported in January 2025 and marked as an emergency. The building had a significant pest issue in December 2019, resulting in violations related to a roach infestation in the third-floor apartment, though subsequent inspections showed no violations. Additional historic complaints include a heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building in November 2019, which was investigated but resulted in no violations.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five years, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there were some concerning findings of rat activity during early 2023 that required attention. The building's most recent rodent inspections in 2025 and earlier in 2024 returned passed results, indicating successful pest management. While the building maintains an active record of service requests and complaints, the property management has generally responded to and closed out issues when possible, though some recent paint/plaster complaints remain open as of February 2025.
