612 West 147th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

612 West 147th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by George Scarborough Jr. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in late 2021 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heating/hot water issues throughout the entire building and cooking gas problems.

These incidents led to HPD violations that were subsequently closed. More recently, the building has faced ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, receiving multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2022 related to bedbug reporting requirements, emergency notice postings, and various safety-related issues in the common areas, including requirements for smoke and carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedure notices, and a completed certificate of inspection display. While many of these violations were marked as "Closed," several remain open as of the most recent inspection records.

The building's most recent bedbug report (June 2024) indicated no current infestations or eradications during the 2022-2023 reporting period. The property has maintained consistent results in rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025, including the most recent inspection in June 2025. The building's ongoing maintenance history suggests a pattern of recurring compliance issues, particularly regarding safety notice requirements and periodic system failures, though recent rodent control success and bedbug reporting compliance indicate some improvements in pest management practices.
