527 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 527 West 152nd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Herminio Torres, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2019, with a notable pattern of water-related and sanitary concerns. Most recently, in March 2025, a significant water leak with heavy flow was reported and remains open as of July 2025. The property has faced multiple mold incidents, with the latest occurring in August 2024, and historical records show similar problems in 2022 and 2019.
The building has experienced ongoing pest issues, including an unsanitary condition related to pests reported in June 2024. The most substantial cluster of recent violations occurred in August 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2B, where problems included defective plastered surfaces, paint issues, and mold conditions in hallways and bathroom ceilings. The building's maintenance history indicates periodic rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity (August) and passing inspections in early 2025.
However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for several years, with all recent annual reports (2020-2024) showing zero infested units. While some violations have been closed following repairs and inspections, the persistence of water-related issues (most recently in 2025) and recurring mold problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life. The building, constructed in 1910, has undergone various repairs and inspections over the past several years, with varying degrees of resolution to identified problems, as evidenced by multiple closure dates and certified repairs for violations in apartment 2B.
