510 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

510 West 148th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Alex Salamea. The property has experienced recurring issues with water supply and heating systems, particularly evident in multiple 2024-2025 complaints regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water problems. Between March and June 2024, there were several plumbing emergencies documented, including water supply issues that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 14.

This unit was found to have inadequate hot and cold water supply, window damage, and water leak problems. Apartment 5 also experienced multiple maintenance issues, including visible mold conditions in the bathroom and problems with water fixtures, with some violations remaining open as of June 2024. The building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple rat sightings reported throughout 2024 and 2025, though recent inspections in July 2025 passed.

There were also significant sanitation concerns in 2024, including mold issues documented in multiple apartments. While the building had bedbug infestations reported in previous years (most notably in 2020 with 3 units affected), recent filings from 2021 to 2024 show no active infestations. The property has undergone regular inspections and received various violation notices, with some conditions requiring repeated follow-ups. The building's maintenance history indicates persistent issues with basic services and building systems, though many recent complaints have been addressed or closed through inspections and corrections.
