Questions about this building

Is 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 10 certifications filed against 3 new Class C in the last 180 days. 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 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 16 Class C violations: 13 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. HPD now marks 3 of them False Certification. 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 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued July 11, 2012. 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 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On December 23, 2025, 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 536 West 143 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 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1920 as the year 536 West 143 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 6 floors.

How many apartments does 536 West 143 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 25 residential units at 536 West 143 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, 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.
