502 West 142nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
502 West 142nd Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building built in 1920, currently owned by Genevieve Outlaw. The most pressing concern for the building is the recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed through 311 service requests between 2022 and 2025, including several in early 2025 alone.
While many of these complaints were temporarily resolved or closed when HPD couldn't access the units for inspection, the frequency of these issues suggests an ongoing heating infrastructure problem. The building received notable Housing Maintenance Code violations in September 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in both the boiler room and the east yard door, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The property has been subject to various other maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment 3B in 2023, which had violations related to wall paint and refrigerator door gaskets.
Apartment 4B has an open violation as of 2024 regarding wall paint requirements. The building has shown strong compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, passing inspections in 2023-2025, though there was evidence of rat activity noted in previous years (2018-2022). Notably, the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with the most recent filings from 2023-2024 showing no infestations, and previous reports from 2019-2022 also indicating no infestation issues.
