52 Hamilton Place, Manhattan, NY 10031

The three-story, seven-unit building at 52 Hamilton Place in Hamilton Heights, owned by Dani Weiss, has experienced numerous maintenance and regulatory issues since 2018. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint about the building's intercom system that HPD was unable to inspect. In late 2024, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions were documented, including issues with sewage and mold, though HPD was only able to issue violations for the sewage problem.

The building has persistent plumbing and sanitation concerns, with violations noted for unsanitary conditions, including sewage and mold issues in both 2024 and 2023. There are ongoing concerns about an illegal conversion, as evidenced by an active ECB violation from November 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy of a basement area, and a related violation about an unauthorized duplex apartment configuration. The building's heating system has been a recurrent issue, with violations in 2019 and 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply and access to the heating system.

Despite these problems, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to maintain proper boiler inspection records, resulting in multiple violations from 2018 to 2024, though many of these were subsequently dismissed. Recent housing maintenance code violations from October 2024 include mold issues in the cellar and a violation regarding a self-closing door requirement, though some violations have been marked as resolved or closed, including mold remediation completed by February 2025. The building's permit history shows multiple plumbing and alteration permits issued between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent being issued in May 2023.
