515 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 110-unit, 5-story building at 515 West 145th Street, owned by Yoan Leyva Roberts, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2019, with particular concerns about heat and pest problems. Most recently, rodent activity has been documented throughout 2024 and continuing in 2025, with multiple bait applications recorded between February and October 2024, though an initial inspection in June 2025 confirmed rat activity.
The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2019, 2021, and 2022, though in some cases inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and a bedbug report filed in 2022 indicating initial infestations in two units and subsequent eradication efforts in eight units. The building's maintenance history includes some significant safety concerns, including a Department of Buildings complaint in 2019 regarding locked or blocked egress, leading to an Oath Violation.
While the property has required annual bedbug reporting as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements from 2021 to 2024, with violations noted for failure to file, records show these violations were eventually closed. The most recent rodent control efforts indicate ongoing challenges with vermin, despite some compliance inspections showing "Passed" results. The building's age (built in 1926) and designation as OLD LAW SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY may contribute to the persistent maintenance issues, though many complaints have been resolved through proper channels.
