552 West 160th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

552 West 160th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Luis Guevara. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2024, including violations related to flooring, walls, doors, and an unsanitary condition involving pests. Specifically, Apartment 17, located on the 5th floor, has had multiple documented issues, including floor tile defects, wall repair needs, and an interior pest infestation that were all addressed by July 2024.

Earlier in 2023, there were complaints regarding heat/hot water issues in September, though inspectors were unable to access the apartments to verify this particular problem. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent bedbug report from May 2025 showing zero affected units. The property underwent various inspections and received multiple violations between 2023 and 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 17, which experienced issues with plumbing fixtures, wall conditions, and flooring.

While most violations have been closed, some, such as those related to pest control and wall repairs, required multiple inspections and follow-up actions. In terms of building management, the owner has filed regular bedbug reports showing no infestations, and the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in October 2024. The building's only recorded permit issuance in recent years was for an unspecified work type in November 2019.
