562 West 175th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

This six-story, 60-unit New Law tenement building at 562 West 175th Street in Washington Heights, built in 1924 and currently owned by Yida Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over the past year. Most concerning are the multiple complaints and violations regarding basic services, including multiple heat and hot water complaints in March 2025 (some of which required HPD interventions), followed by various maintenance issues in April 2025 involving windows, doors, walls, and a water leak with heavy flow nature.

These recent violations were primarily located in apartments 32B (reported issues include water leaks, mold, and electrical problems) and 42A (documented issues included pest infestations and multiple structural concerns). The building has a documented history of boiler-related issues, with complaints recorded in 2021 and 2025, though inspections did not find violations at the time. A concerning violation remains active from 2021 regarding chimney cleanout and burner safety controls with a penalty imposed.

While there have been multiple rodent activity reports between 2022-2024, the most recent inspections from October 2024 and February 2025 passed, indicating some improvement. The property has consistently maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple annual reports from 2020-2024. While there have been numerous housing maintenance code violations and complaints over the past two years, including a significant number in 2025, many have been resolved through inspections and HPD interventions, though some remain open as of mid-2025.
