524 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
524 West 145th Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1920, is currently facing significant challenges following a major fire incident in November 2024 that caused extensive damage to multiple apartments (2F, 2G, 1D, 2B, 2D, 2E, and 3A) including issues with floor framing, ceilings, and roof structure. The building, managed by Kelsey Cantrell, has a total of 44 units and has experienced recurring maintenance concerns in recent years. In 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to building systems and conditions, including heat/hot water issues (November 2024), unsanitary garbage storage (August-September 2024), and various maintenance problems such as mold, flooring, ceiling, and plumbing issues, though most of these were closed without violations.
The building has also undergone several rodent control efforts, with recent inspections noting rat activity in late 2023. The property has a documented history of bedbug incidents, with reports showing unit infestations in 2022-2023 and one confirmed instance in 2024, though these were marked as eradicated. Earlier issues include elevator problems in 2020, and violations related to energy efficiency reporting between 2018-2021, all of which have been resolved.
The building is currently under structural monitoring following the November 2024 fire, with additional violations noting broken or defective windows in the public hall areas. While there have been recent successful rodent inspections in 2025, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges that require regular monitoring. The building is now facing critical repairs and stabilization work following the November 2024 fire, with active violations requiring attention to address the damage, including charred beams, water damage, and inoperable doors. Various complaints filed in late 2024 regarding building shaking, structural stability, and failure to maintain conditions have resulted in multiple violation notices that require the owner to engage engineers and contractors for evaluation and repairs, with completion deadlines set for early 2025.
