506 West 170th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 20-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 506 West 170th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Barcov Holding LLC and constructed in 1907, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, numerous violations were documented, including problems with water leaks, plumbing (bathtub/shower), flooring, and pest infestations. Apartment 8 has been the focus of particular attention, with multiple violations issued in September 2024 related to safety systems (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), structural issues (cabinets, door latch, electrical outlets, light fixture), and various maintenance concerns including broken vinyl floor tiles.
The building has a history of sanitary conditions requiring attention, with mold and unsanitary flooring issues reported in 2024, and an emergency heat/hot water complaint in late 2022 that was resolved. The property has undergone rodent inspections and treatments, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing without issues. While there have been instances of rodent activity noted in 2022, subsequent inspections have consistently passed.
Bedbug reports indicate no infestations in recent years, with the last recorded incidents occurring between 2017-2018. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with plumbing, flooring, and pest control, though many complaints have been addressed and closed following HPD inspections. The most recent quarterly bedbug reports (2024-2025) show no new infestations.
