546 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

546 West 148th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1926 in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Steve Triebes. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing being a currently open window pane problem reported in April 2025.

There are serious ongoing concerns regarding structural maintenance, as evidenced by multiple active violations related to building walls, with specific issues noted regarding the extreme disrepair of the third-floor exterior masonry wall and deteriorating rear facade conditions. The building has also faced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing either rat activity or failed inspection results, though a July 2025 inspection passed. The building's history reveals recurring issues with compliance and maintenance, including multiple violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports (2021-2024), non-compliance with external low-pressure inspection requirements, and multiple rodent-related complaints.

Structural and safety concerns have been documented through various complaints and violations, including a 2022 complaint about building shaking/vibrating/structural stability, though these specific violations do not appear to have associated penalties. The property has also had issues with heat and hot water availability, as noted in a February 2022 complaint that could not be properly investigated due to access issues. A 2023 violation related to an unfiled Certificate of Correction and multiple active violations for failing to file annual inspections suggest ongoing challenges with property management and compliance.
