455 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 455 Convent Avenue in Hamilton Heights, owned by Joyce Morrison and constructed in 1897, has several notable compliance issues that warrant attention. Most concerning is the building's repeated failure to file required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021.

The Department of Buildings records reveal an alarming pattern of non-compliance with external low pressure inspection requirements, with six active violations between April 2022 and September 2024, indicating these mandatory safety inspections have not been properly documented for multiple years (2018-2023). Additionally, there is one active violation from November 2019 regarding a missed annual boiler inspection for 2017. Despite these violations, some aspects of the building's maintenance record are positive.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, with the most recent passing inspection in June 2025. The building also underwent permitted work in November 2018, with a plumbing permit (job number 122186222) being issued and subsequently completed. While the recent rodent inspection results and completed permit work suggest active management of certain building systems, the outstanding violations related to bedbug reporting and safety inspections highlight ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that impact building operations.
