560 West 174th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

560 West 174th Street is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Carl Zekaria. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed in March-April 2025 about insufficient heat/hot water access, though many inspections were unable to gain apartment access for verification.

More recently, in June 2025, there have been documented problems including water leaks (both slow leaks) and emergency maintenance issues involving doors/windows, safety features (smoke detector), and interior surfaces (paint/plaster) that remain open as of the latest data. The building has also reported bedbug infestations in 2023-2024, with three units affected during the most recent reporting period, though all were eventually eradicated. Historically, the building has faced various maintenance challenges including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in Apartment 55 (5th floor) where issues with kitchen and bathroom cabinets, tiles, and an infestation were documented in late 2024.

The property has a mixed record with inspections and violations, including some construction-related citations in 2019 for improper scaffolding and debris netting. Of note, there have been several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification of complaints, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues. While recent rodent inspections (2022-2024) have consistently passed, showing effective pest management, the ongoing issues with heat/hot water supply and the recent maintenance violations suggest continued attention required to maintain building systems.
