521 West 148th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The three-story, four-unit building at 521 West 148th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Michael Padernacht, was constructed in 1910 and has undergone several significant maintenance events over the past few years. Most notably, in December 2020, there were two emergency heat and hot water complaints for the entire building, which ultimately resulted in Class C violations for inadequate hot water supply in both the basement apartment and second-floor apartment 2 - these violations were certified as resolved by December 21, 2020.

The building experienced various maintenance issues in November 2018, primarily affecting apartment 2 on the second floor, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and bathroom ceiling color specifications, along with a refrigerator door gasket issue - all of which were subsequently closed. More recent history shows a boiler-related complaint in November 2024, which was inspected and found to have no violations at the time of inspection.

Importantly, the building has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025), and over eight consecutive passed rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, demonstrating effective building maintenance and pest control practices. While the building has faced historical heating and maintenance challenges, recent records indicate improved systems management, though the December 2020 heating issues represent the most significant resident comfort concern on record.
