The five-story, 22-unit tenement at 572 West 173rd Street, owned by Avraham Dishi and constructed in 1909, has experienced numerous significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Most notably, there have been four separate complaints in early 2025 and multiple incidents in 2024 regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, with violations documented in November 2024 specifically regarding hot water availability in Apartment 1. The building has also faced various plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about sink problems in spring 2024 leading to violations.

Recent inspections in 2025 have revealed ongoing concerns including emergency complaints about water supply and plaster issues, as well as open violations related to ceiling and wall conditions. The property has shown persistent problems with basic maintenance and safety systems. As of 2024, there were multiple violations regarding building systems and safety features, including defective self-closing doors, smoke detector issues in Apartment 22, and carbon monoxide detector problems.

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including problems with window frames, damp spots, and accumulated refuse in common areas noted in 2024 inspections. While the building has actively addressed pest control issues, with regular bait applications throughout late 2024 and into 2025, there were violations regarding rodent activity noted in late 2024. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of responding to heat and plumbing issues, though access problems have sometimes hindered inspection efforts, particularly regarding the heating system. The building's age and history as a New Law tenement suggest it has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of similar properties in the area.
