506 West 162nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 16-unit, 5-story tenement building at 506 West 162nd Street in Washington Heights, owned by Khash Haimof, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. The most significant current concerns include an open unsanitary condition regarding garbage/recycling storage reported in February 2025 and multiple paint/plaster issues affecting door frames and ceilings in early 2025.
A substantial cluster of violations was documented in November 2024 in apartment 1C, including multiple instances of lead-based paint hazards that require correction using proper work practices, along with issues related to plaster surfaces and metal surfaces that need proper painting according to regulations. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with doors/windows and steam pipe/riser plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations throughout 2024-2025.
There have also been notable environmental concerns, with rat activity documented in multiple rodent inspections in 2024, though some inspections showed passing results. The property experienced a major facade issue in 2021, with the Department of Buildings noting deterioration and damage to the cornice at roof level, leading to an ECB violation. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with no reported cases in the past four reporting periods.
