Questions about this building
Does 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan had 18 open violations on September 26, 2026: 18 from HPD. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 11 open Class C, with 3 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 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations: 2 by the original certify-by date, 1 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 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued September 27, 2018. 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.
Is 541 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 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1909 as the year 541 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 6 floors.
How many apartments does 541 West 158 Street, Manhattan have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 24 residential units at 541 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 DOB violations, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists 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.
