167 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 7-story residential building at 167 West 71st Street, owned by Ernest Iskowitz and containing 21 units, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years (2024-2025). Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing problem with cooking gas systems, with multiple tenant complaints filed between January and May 2025, showing a pattern of technical difficulties. Other concerning issues include heating problems in Apartments 1 and 10 (both on 4th floor) as of December 2024, access issues to the heating system in the basement, and violations related to self-closing doors in apartments 10 and 14.
The building has also faced electrical challenges, including power outages and problems with electric/gas ranges, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints in 2025. Water heater issues were reported in multiple units, suggesting potential building-wide infrastructure problems. The building has a mixed history of pest management, with consistent reports of no bedbug activity in recent years (2020-2024), though there have been periodic rodent activity reports, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing.
Building systems maintenance appears to be an area of concern, with active DOB violations regarding the failure to file FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report (2019) and Cycle 9C Technical Report (2024). Historical complaints from 2018-2019 indicate past regulations violations regarding building egress and elevator systems, though these were resolved. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing no infested units during this period, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed, though there were several instances of rat activity reported in 2019.
