616 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
Barnard College's 10-story, 1907 single-room occupancy building at 616 West 116th Street in Morningside Heights has experienced recurring infrastructure challenges, most notably with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by two recent emergency complaints in 2023 and a 2019 incident affecting the entire building. The property has been the subject of multiple boiler-related violations, including a 2024 ECB citation for failing to file required annual boiler inspection reports, resulting in a $625 penalty, and several violations between 2023-2025 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports.
The building also faced façade safety concerns in 2022 under LL11/98 regulations, which were classified as "Unsafe." The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with three consecutive filings showing zero infested units between 2021 and 2024. While rodent inspections have generally passed consistently from 2017-2025, there have been two failed inspections for "Other Reasons" in 2024, and a pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting compliance was noted between 2021-2024.
Despite these challenges, many violations issued (including those regarding energy efficiency reporting and benchmarking) have been dismissed or resolved, suggesting that Barnard College has addressed most regulatory requirements, though not always in a timely manner. The building's elevator system compliance was addressed in 2020 with violations related to door lock monitoring, which were subsequently resolved.
