563 West 150th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

563 West 150th Street is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 located in Hamilton Heights and currently owned by Connie Mcqueen. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between April and June 2025, indicating systemic maintenance challenges.

The most recent complaint from late May 2025 also revealed unsanitary pigeon conditions that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. Recent environmental concerns include an active ECB violation from July 2023 regarding a missing lobby door handle that creates egress difficulties, with a penalty of $6,250 imposed, though the current status of this violation is listed as "active." The building has several ongoing housing maintenance code violations as of 2024-2025, primarily affecting apartment 3F on the 6th floor, involving issues with floor tiles, window balance, and various defects in kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Common area maintenance concerns include defective door issues noted in multiple violation notices.

The property has a documented rodent issue, as evidenced by inspections showing rat activity in 2022 and 2025, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed successfully. Historical complaints dating back to 2020 and 2019 show issues with egress and ventilation systems, though these were ultimately found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's record suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and various infrastructure elements, with some violations remaining unresolved for extended periods.
