1530 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
1530 St Nicholas Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law tenement building built in 1916, currently owned by Nissan Cohen. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded in January 2024 alone, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In addition to these heating system problems, there have been recent maintenance issues including a December 2024 open door-related complaint and a February 2024 heavy water leak incident.
The building has faced pest control challenges, with a notable pest infestation violation issued in May 2024, and there are ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity and requiring bait application. The property has several significant violations that warrant attention. In May 2024, multiple violations were issued for Apartment 1, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and an infestation of roaches, though these were subsequently certified as corrected by June 2024.
There is an active Department of Buildings violation from 2023 regarding failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, and two Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to failure to comply with previous summonses, each carrying a $6,250 penalty. Recent permits show continued maintenance activity, with the most recent permit for exterior work issued in October 2024. The building's bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate no recorded infestations during the specified periods, though there have been recent pest control issues suggesting ongoing management challenges.
