423 West 154th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

423 West 154th Street is a 4-unit, 3-story residential building located in Hamilton Heights, built in 1884 and currently owned by Jonathan Ramirez. The property has experienced recurring heating issues over recent years, with three documented heat and hot water complaints in 2018, 2022, and most recently in November 2024, the latter being a building-wide emergency situation where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

During the 2022 incident, specific violations were documented for Apartment 2 related to inadequate heat supply and unauthorized electrical heating system modifications, though these violations were ultimately closed. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, with no infestations reported in any of the six annual reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management practices. Additionally, while there have been two failed rodent inspections in 2024 (August and February) and one failed inspection in 2020, subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown compliance.

A chemical vapors/gases/odors complaint was filed with the DOHMH in 2021, which resulted in an advisory to the property owner. The building's heating system appears to be a persistent concern, with multiple incidents and violations over the years, though there have been periods of heat restoration as reported by tenants. The property has demonstrated active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, maintaining a record of zero infestations across multiple reporting periods.
