623 West 142nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

The three-story, three-unit converted dwelling at 623 West 142nd Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Samuel Sutton and built in 1910, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in September 2018. During that month, multiple violations were recorded affecting the building's public hall areas, including mold (Class B violation), damaged walls and ceilings (Class B violation), and inadequate paint conditions (Class A violation), all of which remain open.

Additionally, there were door-related violations requiring self-closing mechanisms, both at the apartment 1B entrance (Class B violation) and the vestibule door to the building (though the vestibule violation was closed in July 2018). Since 2018, there have been no reported issues with bedbugs, as evidenced by eight consecutive annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units between 2019 and 2024. The building's recent pest control record has been relatively stable, with rodent inspections showing consistent passing results in 2023 and 2024, though there was one failure in June 2023 for "Other Reasons".

The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, suggesting current conditions may be improving. While the 2018 violations indicate past maintenance concerns, the absence of recent bedbug reports and the generally positive rodent inspection results over the past two years suggest the building is currently experiencing fewer pest-related issues. However, the three open violations from 2018, particularly those related to mold and hall maintenance, represent the building's most significant historical maintenance issues.
