572 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 24-unit, 6-story tenement building at 572 West 141st Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Bijan Nassi, has experienced persistent and significant maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February 2025 and December 2024. These issues have resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heat and hot water supply violations in apartments 1C and 5C, and problems with the building's heating system access.

Additional building-wide concerns include ongoing rat activity as documented by multiple inspections from April 2024 through March 2025, and various plumbing issues. The building has faced significant challenges with its elevator and boiler systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations. There are active ECB violations regarding elevator safety features, including door zone restrictor issues (with penalties totaling $17,500), and three open Class C violations from December 2024 related to inadequate heat and hot water supply.

The boiler has also been subject to multiple violations, including inoperability and safety concerns, with penalties ranging from $3,125 to $12,500. The building has a history of various other maintenance issues, including a confirmed mice infestation in apartment 1C (November 2024), problems with the fire exit door hinges (December 2024), and multiple open DOB violations regarding defective elevator equipment and failure to certify corrections on hazardous violations. Despite these persistent issues, records show that the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases from 2017-2020.
