514 West 168th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 11-story residential building at 514 West 168th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Ariel Sherizen, was completed in 2014 and has undergone several regulatory requirements since then. The building has consistently maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and most recently in October 2024.

While there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, these appear to be more procedural than indicative of an infestation problem, as the subsequent bedbug reports filed in 2023 documented zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestations for the 2021-2022 reporting period. The building's construction and initial occupancy period (2019-2023) saw some notable incidents, including two complaints in August 2021 regarding safety concerns about falling debris and damaged safety net/guard rails, though these were closed without violations being substantiated.

An Environmental Control Board violation from August 2021 resulted in a $5,000 fine related to inadequate safety measures during facade work, which has since been resolved. The building also incurred two violations for failure to file mandatory energy use benchmarking reports in 2019, which were dismissed in May 2023 after being paid. The most recent bedbug report filing in 2023 did not indicate any pest issues, and the building has passed all rodent inspections since 2022, suggesting effective pest management overall.
