502 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

502 West 152nd Street, a 5-story, 34-unit tenement building constructed in 1900, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recent heat and hot water concerns, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 indicating the entire building experienced these issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and infestations, particularly in 2022 and 2023 (including a significant infestation in apartment 26), and water-related issues, including a slow leak complaint in May 2023.

The property has undergone various repairs and addressed multiple housing maintenance code violations, including smoke detector replacements, carbon monoxide detector installation, pest abatement, and bathtub repairs. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 indicate consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing multiple inspections. The building's management has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record for 2023-2024, showing no reported infestations in the past two years.

The Department of Buildings also issued a violation in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed. Housing errors like multiple door/window-related complaints were reported in late 2020, and while inspections were conducted, no violations were ultimately issued. The property has maintained its required permits, with multiple permits issued between 2018-2019 for various maintenance and repair work.
