142 Laurel Hill Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10040
142 Laurel Hill Terrace is a 6-story, 83-unit residential building constructed in 1936, currently owned by Paul Steinberg. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past 18 months, with the most recent problems including unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (October 2024) and an ongoing bees/wasps issue (October 2024). There have been multiple reports of window-related problems, safety concerns such as fire escape issues, electrical problems, and water leaks in 2024, with several Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections unable to gain access for verification.
Notably, there was a significant infestation issue in apartment 5M in October 2023, involving roaches, water leak problems, and missing smoke detectors, all of which appear to have been addressed. The building's history shows recurring pest management challenges, with a recent bedbug infestation reported in December 2024 involving one unit, though previous infestations from 2021-2024 have been resolved. Rodent control efforts have had mixed results, with several inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing failures for "Other Reasons," though more recent inspections have passed.
Current Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints from 2025 include concerns about multiple elevator devices and possible illegal commercial use in a residential zone. Historical maintenance issues have included elevator problems (2020), water leak repairs (2023), and various building code violations, though many of these have been resolved. The property has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues through formal violations and inspections, with varying degrees of compliance success.
