448 West 163rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
448 West 163rd Street is a 40-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Leonard Schwartz. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple open complaints as of 2025 regarding paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, cabinets, plumbing (toilet), and ventilation systems. Two significant recent complaints filed in June 2025 reported unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests, though these were subsequently closed.
The building has a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with several inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming rat presence, though bait was applied in response. A cluster of violations was recorded in July 2024, primarily affecting apartments 3A, 3C, and 24, including issues with window guards, gas supply to kitchen ranges, water leaks, and door functionality. The property has documented heat and hot water supply issues, as evidenced by an August 2024 complaint.
Historical records show significant boiler-related problems in 2020, including rotted flue pipes that resulted in an active violation with a $6,250 penalty. While the building has maintained a pest-free record according to bedbug reports from 2019-2022, the recent rat activity and mold/pest complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings has active violations regarding the failure to file energy benchmarking reports dating back to 2020.
