506 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 15-unit, 5-story tenement building at 506 West 148th Street in Hamilton Heights, built in 1903 and owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint filed in April 2025 regarding paint/plaster issues with walls. The building has demonstrated a pattern of water-related issues, with significant complaints in 2024 (heavy flow) and 2020 (multiple water-related complaints), though inspections in these instances did not result in violations.

In 2020, there were multiple complaints related to flooring and stairs, with some resulting in violations requiring repairs, particularly in the second and third-story public halls and Apartment 2C. While there was a rat sighting reported in 2024, subsequent inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations, and recent rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows attention to pests, with annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 indicating zero infested units.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2020 regarding paint and floor conditions, particularly requiring the use of light-colored paint in public areas. A boiler complaint from January 2025 was noted, but the inspector was unable to gain access. The property has passed all recent rodent inspections, with the most recent conducted in July 2025 showing no violations. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, many complaints have been promptly addressed and closed, with current open issues primarily related to wall conditions.
