510 West 146th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 6-story, 18-unit residential building at 510 West 146th Street, owned by Juda Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since 2023, particularly affecting tenant comfort and safety. Recent complaints indicate ongoing plumbing problems, with the most recent bathtub/shower issue reported in May 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate the situation.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including heat/hot water issues in December 2024 affecting the entire building, a slow water leak, and various apartment-specific problems in Unit 6C, including defective plumbing fixtures, water damage, and lack of essential safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms. The property has a documented history of pest control issues, with several complaints about rodent activity between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in June 2025 passed. Additionally, the building's fire escape was found to have defective treads requiring replacement, and various internal maintenance issues were identified through HPD inspections, including concerns about paint/plaster conditions and appliance functionality.

While the building has undergone local law audits in 2020 and 2021 with no violations found, there is currently an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed for 2018. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug issues, with no infestations reported in official filings since 2020. Though violations have been issued for various issues, inspections have generally resulted in prompt correction of most identified problems, with specific violations being certified as corrected by early 2025.
