61 Hamilton Place is a 6-story, 27-unit residential building constructed in 1910 located in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Brandon Yasgur. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple housing code violations and inspection attempts for safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and unsanitary conditions (pests) in June 2025, though HPD was unable to complete the inspections. The building has faced recurring rodent activity, with ten inspections between 2024-2025 consistently showing evidence of rat activity, though some inspections resulted in bait application.
Recent violations document various maintenance concerns, including water leaks, mold, and interior surface issues. There is currently an open violation from 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores, and several elevator-related violations from 2020-2021 suggest ongoing problems with vertical transportation in the building. Specific apartments have documented issues, such as multiple violations in Apartment 41 (including water leaks, plaster damage, and painting concerns) and issues with hardwood floors in Apartment 1 and window repairs in Apartment 52. Historical data shows the building has maintained a bed bug-free status in recent reporting periods.
The property has undergone several inspections and received various citations from the Department of Buildings, particularly regarding elevator safety and building maintenance. Notably, there are active ECB violations from 2021 concerning elevator communication systems and door monitoring, with associated penalties. The building's environmental record includes heating and elevator system challenges, with multiple complaints about no alternate service between 2020-2025. Recent inspections indicate ongoing concerns with water damage and building systems, though there has been some resolution of prior violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.
