547 West 160th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
547 West 160th Street is a 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights, built in 1907 and currently owned by Michael Rooneyjr. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with nine documented complaints of inadequate heat or hot water between late 2024 and 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
Several of these complaints, including incidents in May 2025 and April 2025, were classified as emergencies by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though in some cases inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in early 2024, regarding inadequate heating and hot water supply in various apartments (1D, 2C, 4B, and 4D) and issues with locked access to the heating system in the cellar. Additional building maintenance history shows a range of issues needing attention, including a December 2024 door/window complaint, rodent sightings in 2022 (but passing inspections in 2024), and various Department of Buildings complaints between 2020-2024 regarding work without permits, boiler concerns, and building maintenance problems.
Three significant ECB violations from 2020 related to building walls/window lintels, boiler maintenance, and failure to certify corrections were resolved, though fines were imposed. The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2024 consistently show zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 passed without violations. The property has a history of obtaining various permits for plumbing and electrical work between 2018-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
