400 West 155th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 13-story, 124-unit building at 400 West 155th Street in Harlem, owned by Rodney Nelson and completed in 2014, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between January 2025 and March 2025 alone, there were at least eight reported incidents of inadequate heat or hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some complaints were resolved upon HPD's inspection, several resulted in violations, and in March 2025, HPD was unable to gain access to conduct inspections for at least one of these complaints.
Other notable maintenance issues have emerged, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues), electrical outlet/switch concerns, and heavy water leakage, with inspections revealing violations in some cases. The building's history also shows challenges with habitability, as evidenced by multiple bedbug infestations reported in 2023 and 2024, though the most recent report for 2024-2025 indicated no active cases. The building has open violations from a November 2024 inspection of apartment 12J, including issues with water leaks, pest infestation, ventilation, and various surface deficiencies requiring repairs and repainting.
While the property has passed several rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there was notable rat activity reported in late 2022. Compliance with mandatory inspections and reporting appears problematic, as shown by ongoing violations related to the failure to submit required parking structure and exterior wall reports, with associated penalties. The property has a history of missing deadlines for energy benchmarking reports, with violations cited in 2019. Recent inspection and complaint records suggest persistent issues with building systems and maintenance, particularly concerning heat and water systems, with multiple violations indicating ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
