611 West 152nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

611 West 152nd Street is a 5-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925 located in Hamilton Heights, currently owned by Sal Radoncic. The property has experienced consistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, though housing authorities were frequently unable to gain access for inspections. Prior to these issues, the building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2022, leading to several code violations related to tenant protection plan compliance during construction work, which resulted in fines.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges as documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations. In September 2024, violations were recorded in apartments 2C and 4A, including issues with plaster surfaces, mold, and insect infestations. The property has a concerning history of heating system problems, as evidenced by the cluster of complaints in early 2025.

While more recent inspections indicate some improvement, including rodent control measures passing in early 2025, the building experienced significant infestation issues as recently as 2024. Previous tenant complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including problems with self-closing doors and various repair needs in multiple units. The building's environmental control violations from 2022 demonstrate past compliance issues with construction and safety requirements, though these were subsequently resolved. The heat and hot water service continuity remains a pressing concern, with a pattern of recurring complaints through early 2025 suggesting persistent system failures despite some corrections being verified by housing authorities in previous months.
