535 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The three-story, two-unit building at 535 West 149th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Aaron Shirazi, has demonstrated ongoing challenges with rodent activity over the past several years. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple rodent-related incidents requiring inspection and remediation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing "Passed" results, suggesting some improvement in rodent control measures. The building has also experienced maintenance issues requiring attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, including problems with doors/windows and missing signage in late 2022, though no violations were ultimately issued during inspections.
A significant safety concern emerged in June 2023 when a partially issued vacate order was placed regarding access to the roof and rear yard, due to hazardous spalling masonry conditions found along the parapet and building exterior wall, though subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 appeared to show no violations warranted at the time. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of rodent activity, with inspections recording rat activity as recently as early 2023, though this has improved in 2025 with "Passed" status in multiple inspections. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all annual monitoring periods showing zero infested units.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with bait applied in May 2023, and while there were several instances of rat activity recorded between 2022-2023, recent inspections suggest better management of this issue. Two recent complaints filed in June 2023 regarding construction enforcement and failure to maintain were investigated, with no violations warranted for construction and a partial vacate order served related to hazardous conditions on the neighboring building, affecting access to shared spaces. The building's violation record shows an open violation as of April 2023 regarding missing proper signage on the entrance wall, though most complaints in 2022-2023 resulted in either no violations being found or were closed without enforcement action.
