531 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 4-story residential building at 531 West 149th Street in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Carla Seals, has undergone several significant maintenance inspections since 2018, with particular attention to bedbug reporting and building safety compliance. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing eight consecutive inspections from 2018 through 2025, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in March 2023.

The building's bedbug reporting requirements have been met in recent years, with the 2024 report and previous filings showing no infested units during the reporting periods, with all identified units being either eradicated or not re-infested. Recent violations of concern include two open safety violations from February 2023: one relating to an illegal slide bolt on the 4th-story scuttle opening cover, and another regarding a non-self-closing door mechanism on the building's entrance door.

The property has been subject to recurring bedbug report violations in previous years, with inspections in March 2024 and throughout 2023 noting non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though these issues appear to have been resolved based on subsequent filings showing no infestation. While the building has maintained good pest control practices, the open safety violations regarding door security mechanisms and recent history of bedbug report non-compliance are noteworthy, though the latter appears to have been addressed in recent filings.
