184 Claremont Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

184 Claremont Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by 184-188 Claremont Investors LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with four emergency complaints filed between October and November 2024, all of which were closed without inspection access being granted. The property has documented various maintenance concerns over the years, including a significant sewage issue in 2022, multiple instances of paint and plaster problems in 2019-2020, and rodent sightings in early 2019.

Safety concerns were raised in 2020 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1N, though these violations were eventually closed. The building has a history of compliance challenges, particularly in 2018-2019, when multiple violations were issued for "Work Without Permit" and "Failure to Comply" orders related to a retaining wall construction project. These violations, though resolved, involved significant penalties totaling over $31,000.

Recent inspections have shown improved conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years and all rodent inspections since 2023 passing without issues, except for two baiting instances in 2022. The property underwent several routine Housing Maintenance Code inspections between 2020-2024, with no major violations noted in the most recent inspections. While there have been multiple complaints and violations over the years, the building has generally shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with most issues being addressed through proper channels, though there have been recurring access issues preventing some inspections from being completed.
