415 West 118th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The seven-story, 28-unit tenement building at 415 West 118th Street, owned by Columbia University and built in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building experienced a series of heat and hot water supply problems in October 2019, with four separate complaints about these conditions, though inspections confirmed that service had been restored by the time of their arrival. More recent concerns include a balcony/porch issue in April 2024, which was inspected by HPD with no violations found.

The building has two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to facade maintenance and elevator safety requirements, specifically regarding door lock monitoring installation, though it seems there may be some confusion as penalties appear to have been resolved. The property has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no infestations reported between 2020 and 2024. Regular rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025 have consistently shown passing results, indicating effective pest control measures.

There are several active violations related to FISP technical report filing and energy benchmarking report submission from 2019, which remain unresolved as of the current date. The building's elevator system was the subject of a 2021 complaint regarding lack of alternate service, and more recently in 2024 there was a complaint about a sidewalk shed. Despite these issues, the building has generally demonstrated responsiveness to most violations and service requests, with timely closures of many complaints.
