554 West 160th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
554 West 160th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Luis Guevara. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five emergency complaints filed within a short period in January 2024 regarding building-wide service failures, suggesting persistent infrastructure challenges. The building has been subject to multiple violations related to boiler maintenance, with active ECB violations as of December 2024 for failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with penalties totaling $1,250.
Of particular concern is the building's historical maintenance pattern, as evidenced by numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2018-2023, including issues with mold (May 2023), door/frame conditions (May 2023), and multiple instances of heat/hot water complaints (2019, 2021, and 2024). The building has maintained relatively effective pest management, as demonstrated by its clean bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025, with no documented infestations. Regular rodent inspections (2014-2025) have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures.
However, there are ongoing concerns about the building's maintenance history, particularly regarding heating systems and infrastructure, with multiple violations for failing to file required inspections between 2019-2023. The most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 continues to show zero instances, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The building's permit history shows limited activity, with one general alteration permit issued in November 2019.
