427 West 154th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The five-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building at 427 West 154th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Amit Evron, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints recorded between March and April 2025. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received at least ten separate complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, most of which HPD was unable to verify due to access issues, though some complaints were confirmed as duplicates of existing reports.

The building also experienced significant systems and maintenance challenges in 2024, including Class C violations related to heat and hot water provision, an inhabited hallway with excessive hot water temperatures, and a locked boiler room access issue. Apartment 2 has been the focus of multiple complaints regarding pest infestations (roaches and mice), heat and hot water issues, though the building has maintained a good record of passing rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024, with only one failed inspection noted in 2021. The building's historical records from 2021 show several complaints about work being performed without permits, illegal after-hours work, and site conditions endangering workers, though inspections typically found no violations at the time of their investigation.

Earlier maintenance concerns included a boiler-related complaint in 2018. However, in more recent years, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations between 2021 and 2025, and 2024-2025 filings show no active infestation concerns. The property has also maintained regular permit filings and issuances for necessary maintenance work, with three electrical permits issued in 2020-2021.
