522 West 153rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The three-story, three-unit tenement at 522 West 153rd Street in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Douglas Booth, has been subject to consistent regulatory oversight since its construction in 1920. The building's most notable recent activity has been the regular issuance of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, though these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation, as evidenced by the building's subsequent bedbug reports showing zero infested units and eradicated units from 2021 through 2025.
In 2020, two significant Environmental Control Board violations were recorded: one for an obstructed fire escape ladder and another for an unpermitted rear deck structure, the latter carrying a $2,500 penalty. A subsequent violation in 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition was dismissed in December 2021.
The building has maintained good standing in terms of rodent control, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2025. Two tenant safety inspections in 2024 (April and August) found no violations warranting citation. The building's bedbug reporting compliance has shown consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with the most recent report from May 2025 showing no infestation issues for the 2023-2024 period, and all previous years showing similar results.
