508 West 151st Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 14-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 508 West 151st Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Sandra Carpio and constructed in 1905, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between December 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple heat, hot water, and plumbing problems reported, including radiator issues and toilet malfunctions, with some complaints resulting in issued violations requiring correction. The building has also faced recurring water-related problems, with evidence of slow leaks and mold identified through multiple recent complaints.

Prior records from September 2024 show several housing maintenance code violations in Apartment 1A, including water leaks, peeling paint, and mechanical issues, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's pest control history shows varying conditions, with recent bedbug reports indicating zero infestations in 2023-2024, though there was one reported case in late 2022 that was marked as eradicated. Rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with passed inspections in 2023 and early 2024, but recent activity was noted in July 2025.

The property's heating and hot water systems have been particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, though inspections generally found these conditions did not violate housing laws. Other documented issues include problems with electrical outlets, general sanitation, and multiple instances of wall deterioration. While the building has undergone some repairs and maintenance, as evidenced by the closure of many violations, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
