519 West 143rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 6-story, 24-unit building at 519 West 143rd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Michael Haas, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent complaints (June 2024) involving unsanitary conditions and paint/plaster issues, though no violations were found in either case. Between 2022-2024, there have been multiple complaints regarding doors/windows, lighting, and a water leak, with all issues being resolved without violations.
The building had significant safety concerns addressed in late 2022, including the installation of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards in Apartments 34 and 63. A heat/hot water complaint from October 2022 was resolved, while the elevator system faced issues in 2020, resulting in a $1,250 penalty for failure to install required door lock monitoring. Recent inspections show fluctuating rodent activity, with the most recent (February 2025) passing, though there was one failed inspection in October 2023 citing "Other Reasons" related to rat activity.
Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections from 2019-2024, showing no infested units in any reporting period. Previous violations from 2020-2022 regarding elevator and safety equipment were addressed, with some violations dismissed. While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, it's noteworthy that most service requests resulted in inspections that found no violations, and many complaints were resolved promptly despite not being categorized as emergencies.
