179 Waverly Place, Manhattan, NY 10014
179 Waverly Place is a 5-story, 28-unit residential building in the West Village, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Eric Borkowski. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during early 2025 when multiple complaints were filed through HPD (Department of Housing Preservation and Development), affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
Most recently, in February 2025, there were violations issued for unsanitary conditions related to mold, which HPD subsequently inspected. The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, with numerous heat/hot water complaints recorded between 2024 and 2025, including instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has a documented history of various violations and maintenance issues, particularly concerning Apartment 2A (noted in August 2023 inspections) which showed problems with plastered surfaces, paint, windows, and mold.
The building's management has been cited for failure to comply with various Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) orders between 2016 and 2021, with multiple active penalties of $1250 each for non-compliance. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past five years, with no reported infestations since 2019, there have been ongoing rodent control measures implemented throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple bait applications and recent passed inspections in 2023 and 2024. The Property has had several permits issued for electrical work between 2020 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
