620 West 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

620 West 116th Street is a 10-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Laura Rosenbury. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a building-wide heat and hot water problem reported in November 2024, which HPD was unable to inspect upon response. Throughout 2023-2024, the property faced regulatory challenges including multiple violations related to energy reporting and inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed.

These included failures to file the 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, and the 2017 boiler inspection report. A concerning development includes an active facade safety complaint from March 2022 that was classified as "Unsafe Notification" under LL11/98 regulations. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated compliance in certain areas, with regular rodent inspections showing consistent passing results since 2016, and a clean record in recent bedbug reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, showing no infestations.

The building's facade safety compliance appears to be actively managed, with a 2024 ECB violation related to not filing an acceptable amended Cycle 9A report regarding unsafe conditions, though the penalty balance was recorded as $0. While the property has maintained regular reporting on various safety matters, the pattern of inspection failures and violation notices suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with building safety regulations. Recent rodent inspection pass rates and bedbug-free status indicate these particular pest control issues are being effectively managed, though the recent heat and hot water complaint suggests potential concerns with basic building systems maintenance.
