98 Hamilton Place, Manhattan, NY 10031
98 Hamilton Place is a 7-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Vincent Joseph. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in July 2024 focusing on plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower (both open and closed cases) and mold issues (now resolved). The property has also faced recurring maintenance challenges, including multiple violations related to flooring, appliances, and windows. A particularly concerning pattern emerged in 2024, with several simultaneous violations in Apartment 4F involving mold, water leaks, and electrical issues.
The building's infrastructure has shown some instability, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints for various maintenance issues, including a 2024 incident involving a broken door lock in Apartment 3G and multiple problems with the building's floor conditions. The building's historical maintenance records indicate both progress and ongoing challenges. While recent inspections show improved rodent control compliance, with passed inspections in 2024-2025, the facade safety issue documented in 2021 remains active with a $25,000 penalty. The elevator system has also faced scrutiny, with a 2020 violation regarding door lock monitoring that was subsequently dismissed. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the last confirmed cases in 2019-2020, though recent annual reports (2021-2024) show zero reported infestations.
Compliance with various building maintenance codes has been inconsistent, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years, including mold conditions, water leaks, and lead paint hazards. The building's ownership has been responsive to many violations, with numerous cases being resolved through inspections and certified corrections. However, several open violations remain, particularly regarding building systems and resident safety features. While the property has maintained basic operational compliance through regular rodent inspections, the frequency and nature of repair issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The 2024-2025 records show some improvement in maintenance response times and resolution rates compared to earlier years, though systemic issues appear to persist.
