622 West 114th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

622 West 114th Street is a 6-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently managed by 622 West 114th Street Owners Corp. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly between 2022 and 2024, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heating or hot water affecting the entire building. Most recently, a heat/hot water complaint was filed in December 2024, which resulted in a violation for excessive hot water temperature (above 130 degrees) in apartment 2A. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including elevator issues, with active violations related to elevator defects noted in 2019.

Multiple violations were recorded in 2022-2023 regarding the need for door repairs, fire safety systems, and ceiling maintenance in common areas, though many of these were subsequently resolved or closed. The property has demonstrated a commitment to rodent control, consistently passing inspections from 2017 through 2025, and has maintained a clean bedbug record with no reported infestations in the past three years (2021-2024). In recent years, the building has shown improvements in responding to Housing Maintenance Code violations, with no active violations related to bedbugs and regular rodent inspections passing. A notable environmental compliance issue was recorded in 2024 regarding facade safety reporting requirements, resulting in a $6,250 penalty that remains active.

The building's boiler and heating systems have required ongoing attention, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations, though specific recent boiler issues were not documented. The property has maintained regular facade inspections and has been compliant with annual bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years. While the building has experienced recurring heating system issues, particularly during winter months, many maintenance violations have been addressed and closed successfully. The active violations related to facade reporting and hot water temperature adjustments suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, though the building has generally passed its most recent inspections for pests and other common issues.
