470 West 150th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The five-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building at 470 West 150th Street in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by 466-470 W 150th Street Realty LLC, has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly involving heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in late 2023, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints regarding the entire building in December and November, with violations noted in November regarding inadequate hot water and heating systems, though inspectors encountered access issues. An inspection in November 2023 revealed several violations in apartment 5C, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, hot water supply, and a leaking roof in the kitchen, as well as an issue with locked access to the building's heating system.
The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with basic services and infrastructure. There have been multiple documented heating system failures, including violations in 2020 and 2021, along with plumbing issues such as toilet problems in 2021. The property has experienced pest control challenges, with rat sightings reported in 2020 and 2023, though the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed.
The building had one documented bedbug infestation in late 2024, following a 2023-2024 filing period, though previous filings from 2022 and earlier showed no infestations. Earlier violations from 2021 included missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a roach infestation in apartment 1B. While some issues have been resolved through various inspections and violation certifications, the pattern of heating system problems remains the most concerning aspect of this building's maintenance history.
