172 Waverly Place, Manhattan, NY 10014

172 Waverly Place is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building situated in New York City's West Village, constructed in 1868 and currently owned by Eric Borkowski. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in November 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide problems. These complaints highlight systemic heating infrastructure challenges, with at least one active violation as of April 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply to Apartment 3C.

The building underwent significant work in 2018-2019, during which several serious safety violations were documented, including inadequate egress, sprinkler system issues, and construction debris concerns. These violations led to penalties and corrective actions, including a $3,125 charge related to boiler registration and maintenance deficiencies from 2021. The building's maintenance record shows periodic health department inspections and complaints, particularly concerning food establishments in the vicinity, with multiple reports of food poisoning incidents in 2023-2024 (though these were determined to be isolated incidents).

The property has passed recent rodent inspections (2024, 2023, 2022) after earlier rat activity was documented in 2021. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2018-2024), with all annual reports showing zero infested units. The building's history includes various infrastructure and safety compliance issues, requiring ongoing attention to heating systems, emergency egress, and general maintenance standards. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspection results show successful pest management, though concerns about heating infrastructure persist as a recurring issue affecting resident comfort.
