515 West 138th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 15-unit, 5-story tenement building at 515 West 138th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Maite Tac, has been in operation since 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past five years. Most notably, there has been recurring documentation and enforcement regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with the building receiving multiple Class A violations between 2022 and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, although the most recent filings from 2025 and 2024 show zero infested units and compliance with eradication protocols.
In December 2023, a Class C violation was recorded and subsequently resolved regarding a defective self-closing door in apartment 43. The building's safety infrastructure has also required attention, particularly in late 2021, when multiple violations were issued (all subsequently resolved) regarding the posting of safety notices in common areas, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, heating system access, and emergency contact information.
Additionally, there were two rodent inspection reports in 2024 showing "Rat Activity," though subsequent inspections in early 2025 passed. The building has maintained an overall pattern of achieving compliance after violations are issued, with recent inspections (2025 and 2024) showing improvements in both bedbug reporting compliance and rodent control measures. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, and while rodent issues were identified in spring 2024, the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed, indicating potential improvement in pest control measures.
