511 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 511 West 149th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Jean Jaques Ferron, has a concerning history of recurring pest management issues and regulatory non-compliance since 2021. Most notably, there is an active pattern of bedbug report violations spanning from 2021 to 2024, with open violations indicating failure to file required annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
The building has also experienced persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 documenting rat activity, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 was passed. Recent plumbing-related issues have emerged, including a standing water complaint in June 2025 that was investigated without resulting violations. The property's mechanical systems have come under scrutiny due to multiple violations related to low-pressure boiler inspection reporting between 2023 and 2024.
Specifically, there are active violations for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports, with a penalty of $655 imposed. Additionally, there have been two complaints about illegal hotel rooms in the residential building (2019 and 2025) where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Despite these numerous violations and service requests, the building has passed recent rodent inspections in March 2025 and September 2024, suggesting some improvements in pest management practices, though the frequency and persistence of these issues remain noteworthy.
