565 West 173rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
565 West 173rd Street is a 5-story New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Fernando Alba. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most notable concerns being heat/hot water outages, pest infestations, and safety violations. Between 2022 and 2023, there were two documented emergencies regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though in one instance heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspection.
Pest-related issues have been significant, particularly in Apartment 3, which has had documented infestations of mice and roaches in 2024, along with multiple violations related to unsafe electrical wiring conditions creating bathroom and kitchen hazards. The building has also faced safety concerns, including a 2019 violation regarding smoke detector issues and various apartment-specific maintenance problems such as flooring, plumbing, and painting needs. More recent inspections indicate some improvements, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and late 2023 resulting in "Passed" ratings.
The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 to 2024, showing no active infestations during the past five reporting periods, though there were previous instances in 2019-2020. While the building has undergone multiple inspections and received various repairs, the pattern of recurring heating issues and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent significant violations were documented in February 2024, specifically regarding electrical hazards and pest infestations in Apartment 3, though these violations were subsequently certified as addressed by March 2024.
