79 Hamilton Place, Manhattan, NY 10031
79 Hamilton Place is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Josh Christopher. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024, including multiple violations for flooring problems and pest infestations in Apartment 2 that prompted emergency and non-emergency responses from HPD.
The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with emergency complaints in 2021 and 2022 regarding heat and hot water outages, though in 2021 tenants reported that the issues had been resolved. More recently, in 2023-2024, multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 2 regarding defective floors and plaster surfaces, as well as pest infestation that required remediation. The building underwent significant scrutiny between 2018-2019 regarding electrical work and building maintenance, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to improper electrical work and failure to maintain code-compliant conditions.
These included issues with exposed wiring and broken floor tiles, resulting in fines totaling over $7,000, though these violations were later dismissed. Interestingly, while the building has documented rodent activity in 2024 and 2025 inspections, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, with the most recent six years of bedbug reports showing no active infestations (including 2024 reports showing 0 infested, 0 eradicated, and 0 re-infested units). The property has maintained regular building systems inspections, with some inspections passing but with the most recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity.
