605 West 141st Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

605 West 141st Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Kobi Zamir. The property experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple building-wide complaints between January and June, including some classified as emergencies. These ongoing HVAC problems are also reflected in several Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations, particularly affecting apartments 2 and 3, which reported inadequate heat and hot water systems.

The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, with multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations including unauthorized occupancy issues related to a purported duplex conversion with improper egress in Apartment 4, and failure to submit required critical examination reports for exterior walls. The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple "No Alternate Service" violations over the years, the most recent resulting in an ECB violation in March 2024. Environmental concerns have been documented through various inspections, including rodent activity reports showing consistent issues from 2022 through 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to interior improvements, with recent work order permits issued in 2023, though several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of mid-2025. The property has experienced limited pest control issues, with one confirmed bedbug infestation in 2024, though previous years reported no such incidents. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, including various door and security-related issues, the persistence of building systems failures and regulatory violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The current permits and work orders indicate that some remedial work is being attempted, though the effectiveness of these interventions in addressing the building's recurring issues remains to be fully determined.
