Questions about this building
Does 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan had 40 open violations on September 26, 2026: 3 from OATH/ECB and 37 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 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 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 11 Class C violations, all 11 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.
Does 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. 3 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 8, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.
Has DOB received complaints about 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed August 4, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan marked completed?
Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $2,393 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened February 1, 2024. 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.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Supported Scaffold work, issued October 30, 2025. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
Is 507 West 158 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 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1905 as the year 507 West 158 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 507 West 158 Street, Manhattan have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 20 residential units at 507 West 158 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 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.
