The 25-unit, 6-story tenement building at 529 West 143rd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Sparrow 1 LLC, has experienced significant recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with particular attention needed to water-related problems. As of May 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding heavy water leaks, with three similar complaints filed in late March 2025 and one in May 2025. The building has also faced various infrastructural challenges, including an open complaint from March 2025 concerning an unsanitary condition related to pests, problems with a door, and issues with an electric/gas range.
Earlier in 2025, violations were issued regarding paint/plaster issues in both walls and ceilings, though some complaints from January 2025 were subsequently closed. The building's history shows persistent water-related problems, with slow leaks documented in October 2024, and various housing maintenance code violations recorded throughout 2024 specifically related to Apartment 2D, including issues with water leaks, plaster surfaces, wall repairs, and window counterbalance mechanisms. The property has undergone rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025, with several results indicating rat activity in 2023, though recent inspections in early 2024 and 2025 have passed.
Bedbug reports from 2021-2024 consistently show zero infested units, while a 2018 violation regarding elevator maintenance was resolved without penalty. The Department of Buildings records show an active violation from 2021 concerning energy efficiency score display requirements. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building's management has generally responded to complaints, with many complaints being subject to HPD inspection, though some remain open as of May 2025. Recent inspections have focused on various building systems and surfaces, with particular attention needed to address the recurring water-related issues that continue to be reported by tenants.
