434 West 164th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 434 West 164th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1906 and currently owned by Yvonne Stennett, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in the past two years, with the most recent being an emergency complaint in October 2024 that was closed without inspection access.

The building has also faced significant challenges with Apartment 4D, where multiple violations were issued in October 2024 regarding paint requirements, cabinet repairs, floor maintenance, smoke detector issues, and pest infestations including roaches, mice, and spiders. The property has undergone several inspections and service requests related to various maintenance issues, including plumbing problems, appliance maintenance, floor repairs, and wall treatments, with many issues being classified as emergency situations. The building's record shows consistent monitoring for pests, with regular rodent inspections being conducted, though the most recent inspections in 2024 appeared to have passed.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free status over the past several reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, with no reported infestations. While some issues have been resolved, as indicated by closed violations and service requests, several current open violations and recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections related to various systems, with particular attention needed for the continued heat/hot water issues that have persisted through multiple complaints over the past two years.
