What did the latest facade report find at 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan?

Rated Unsafe in the latest facade report, filed August 11, 2025 (inspection cycle 10). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

When did 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On May 12, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2024. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year.

When was 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1903 as the year 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 7 floors.

How many apartments does 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 55 residential units at 151 West 140 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD vacate orders, HPD's Alternative Enforcement Program list, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
