454 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
454 West 152nd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Gary Gibson. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently documented in October 2024, as well as various unsanitary conditions including mold (September 2024) and historical pest problems (2018). The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning safety issues, particularly regarding fire escape access and structural elements.
In September 2024, violations were issued for flower pots obstructing fire escape egress on multiple floors, and for requiring rust removal and repainting of the fire escape. More critically, there is an active violation regarding shoring installations in the first and second floor hallways without proper engineering documentation, identified during a May 2024 inspection, which is noted to pose significant safety risks. Additional structural concerns include ongoing water leak issues from 2020 in apartment 51, and multiple violations from 2019-2024 related to construction work not conforming to approved documents. The building's recent history includes several tenant safety inspections in 2024, with mixed results - some showing compliance while others resulted in full stop work orders and structural monitoring requirements.
While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there were signs of rat activity noted in July 2024. The bedbug reporting system indicates no infestations in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), though there was one reported case in 2022-2023. The property has multiple active violations in the Environmental Control Board system, with substantial penalties imposed, particularly regarding failure to comply with previous commission orders. These ongoing compliance issues, particularly those related to structural safety and fire egress, suggest persistent challenges with building maintenance and oversight.
