620 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

620 West 152nd Street is a 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement built in 1920, currently owned by Smajlje Srdanovic. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the past two years, with significant clusters of problems emerging between November 2023 and January 2024.

During this period, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, along with various maintenance issues including water leaks, mold, and ceiling problems. Specific violations were documented in Apartment 18, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and a problematic smoke detector, while additional violations noted concerns about building infrastructure such as a free-standing radiator in a public hall and access issues to the heating system. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, including recurring heating system issues, water leaks, and mold problems.

Recent inspections from 2025 indicate ongoing concerns with the building's exterior, including cracked bricks, damaged window lintels, and deteriorated mortar joints, resulting in a failure to maintain building facade and appurtenances in a code-compliant manner. The property has also faced pest management challenges, with multiple rat activity reports in 2023-2025, though no bedbug infestations have been recorded in the past six years. While some complaints have been addressed and closed, the frequency and nature of service requests suggest persistent building maintenance challenges that require ongoing attention.
