539 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
539 West 152nd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Lester Stockel, is a 64-story former Class B building constructed in 1926, currently reclassified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS B. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent plumbing problem reported in March 2025 regarding a bathtub/shower installation.
Previous complaints include multiple non-emergency issues in late 2022 involving floors, doors, and walls, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) without resulting in any violations. A series of plumbing incidents, including sink and shower issues, were reported and resolved between 2019 and 2025. The building has maintained an active rodent inspection record, with all ten inspections between 2019 and 2025 passing successfully, indicating effective pest management.
While there were three consecutive bedbug report violations between 2022-2024 requiring annual reporting, the most recent 2024-2025 report shows no infested or re-infested units. Two active Department of Buildings violations from April 2023 regarding failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection records remain unresolved, and an October 2023 zoning violation involving a non-conforming parking pad in the public walkway is also currently active with a $250 penalty. The building's overall maintenance history suggests regular inspections and prompt attention to most issues, though some recent violations and the inability to complete a March 2025 plumbing inspection warrant attention.
