Questions about this building

Does 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan had 38 open violations on September 27, 2026: 38 from HPD. 13 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 4 years, since November 21, 2021.

Is 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed about as fast as new violations come in. 5 certifications filed and 8 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 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 6 Class C violations, all 6 by the original certify-by date. 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.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 24, 2026, awarded for $689. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When did 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On May 7, 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.

Is 530 West 159 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. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1913 as the year 530 West 159 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 5 floors.

How many apartments does 530 West 159 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 10 residential units at 530 West 159 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 the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, 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 the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
