Questions about this building

Yes. 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan had 34 open violations on September 27, 2026: 34 from HPD. 24 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 33 years, since September 20, 1993.

Is 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 9 certifications filed and 16 new Class C in the last 180 days, neither far ahead. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 7 Class C violations: 4 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 13 active DOB violations, most of them for boiler filings under Local Law 62/91. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

When did 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On June 5, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. 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.

When was 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 3 floors.

How many apartments does 315 West 138 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 7 residential units at 315 West 138 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 DOB violations, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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 DOB violations, HPD's annual bedbug reports 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.
