447 West 153rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
447 West 153rd Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Harry Hirschkorn. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations related to rodent infestations.
Most notably, apartment 32 has faced significant maintenance challenges since late 2024, including an infestation of mice, water leaks, and multiple door/wall repair needs, though these violations were certified as addressed between December 2024 and February 2025. Apartment 51 experienced similar problems in late 2023-early 2024, with issues including water leaks, mold, and a roach infestation, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent concerns with both sanitation and structural elements, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2023 and 2025.
Recent inspections have consistently documented rat activity, though compliance actions have been taken in response to some of these findings. The property's bedbug report from December 2024 indicates one instance of infestation in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 reporting periods, with successful eradication in each case. While some improvements have been made, the frequency of pest-related complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control in this Hamilton Heights tenement.
