554 West 165th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The three-story residential building at 554 West 165th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Ana Olivero, has been experiencing recurring heat and hot water system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2023, there were two separate complaints about inadequate heat or hot water, one affecting the entire building and another specific to one apartment, with violations issued following an HPD inspection.

These complaints are part of a concerning pattern, as similar heat and hot water complaints were recorded in October 2022 and November 2022, though some of these were closed after HPD inspections confirmed problems. The building currently has several open violations as of 2024, including failures to post required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements. There are also violations related to access issues with the building's heating system and specific problems with hot water provision in one apartment.

Additionally, there are violations regarding the building's low pressure inspection filings for 2022 and 2023. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, indicating effective pest management. The property is classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class B" building and contains two units, having been constructed in 1910.
