563 West 140th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 5-story, 26-unit tenement building at 563 West 140th Street in Hamilton Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by Scott Castellano, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Between late April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with three emergency service requests filed in May 2025 alone.
The building has also faced some maintenance challenges, including a mold violation issued in April 2025, problems with the bell/intercom system, and various inspection issues where HPD was unable to complete inspections despite multiple attempts. The property has a documented history of maintenance violations and repairs between 2023 and 2024. These include various repair requirements such as addressing defective doors, windows, walls, and flooring issues.
A significant number of inspections in 2023-2024 resulted in violations for building systems and infrastructure, including problems with self-closing doors and various interior surfaces. Notably, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records from 2020-2024. Two Local Law Audits in 2020 and 2021 showed "No Violation Warranted" at the time of inspection, though a compliance inspection was performed in 2021.
