519 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The four-story, one-unit building at 519 West 141st Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Katherine Collins-vazquez, has experienced several recurring issues over the past five years that may impact resident comfort and safety. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting, with housing maintenance code violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

Additionally, there are three current Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file low pressure inspection reports for 2018, 2019, and 2020. While there was a historical boiler inspection violation issued in 2019 for failure to file the 2017 report, this was ultimately dismissed in December 2021. The building's recent inspection history shows some concerning patterns.

In 2025, there was an initial rat activity finding in April, followed by a passed compliance inspection in June 2025. However, the building has a strong track record of rodent control, with all other inspections from 2017 through 2024 showing passed results. The property has received multiple permits for work between 2019 and 2021, with the most recent permits issued for plumbing and alteration work in March and August 2021, and July 2019, though the specific nature and completion status of this work are not detailed in the available records.
