452 West 164th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 452 W 164 Realty LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring heat and hot water problems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints documented in January 2025 and late 2024. As of May 2025, there are multiple unresolved electrical issues including outlet/switch problems and a power outage, along with a window frame issue, though no violations were issued for the last window complaint.

More seriously, the building is currently under housing maintenance code violations as of November 2024, with notable issues including an ongoing infestation of roaches in Apartment 4 and multiple violations in Apartment 41 related to plumbing and window problems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly related to heating systems and pest control. While there have been some improvements, such as recent rodent inspections passing in 2024 and 2023, previous records show some failures related to rat activity in 2022.

The property has undergone routine Department of Buildings inspections, including local law audits and tenant safety inspections, with most showing no violations or compliance. Notable historical data shows the building has been pest-free (bedbugs) in the last five reporting periods from 2019 to 2023. The most recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and various infrastructure elements including electrical, plumbing, and pest control systems.
