429 West 154th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 429 West 154th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Kenneth Morrison, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water service complaints, with three separate incidents in 2025 alone, including one that is currently open as of May 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage.
The building has also faced persistent mold issues, with violations issued in 2024 and multiple complaints in 2023, suggesting ongoing moisture problems despite some incidents being closed without violations. In April 2024, several violations were documented in Apartment 43, including infestations of roaches, maintenance issues with plaster surfaces, and problems with various building systems including the fire escape window's lock, which is notably concerning from a safety perspective. Recent inspections from June 2024 revealed two open violations regarding defective steel lintels on the 5th story, and a 2022 boiler-related violation remains active, concerning multiple safety equipment deficiencies with a penalty of $625.
The building has experienced recurring rat activity, with inspections in 2024 and 2023 showing consistent evidence of rodent presence, though an initial rodent inspection in February 2025 passed. While there were issues with bedbugs between 2019-2020, the most recent report for 2023-2024 shows no infestations, indicating some improvement in this area. The property has a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with the most serious issues related to heat/hot water access and unsanitary conditions, which have been recurring problems suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
