514 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 5-story, 20-unit residential building at 514 West 152nd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Jon Haxhaj and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being a power outage incident in early 2025 and recurring heating and appliance problems. In early 2024, there were documented violations related to heat/hot water and refrigerator issues, with an HPD inspection revealing violations requiring attention. A significant cluster of violations emerged in 2024, particularly in apartment 4, including problems with lead-based paint hazards, roach infestation, and window guard compliance, though these violations have since been marked as closed.

Electrical issues have been a recurring theme, with documented problems including a lack of lighting in 2018 and the recent power outage in 2025. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, most recently in February 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in 2022. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure challenges, including problems with sewage (2022), garbage/recycling storage (2019), and water leaks (2021).

While there have been multiple 311 service requests and HPD inspections, many of these complaints were closed without violations being found, such as the 2024 refrigerator complaint and past electrical issues. On a positive note, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting system since 2019, showing no documented infestations or eradication efforts required in recent years. The most recent rodent inspection results have consistently shown compliance, indicating effective pest management practices.
