515 West 174th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
The 24-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 515 West 174th Street in Washington Heights, currently owned by Robin Baez, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of intercom system failures in 2025, with three open complaints between April and May. The building has also faced two significant heating system complaints in January 2024 and January 2025, though in both cases, HPD was unable to gain access to perform inspections.
In late 2023, multiple issues were reported including mold, water leaks, and window frame problems, with at least two of these resulting in violations being issued during inspections. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance concerns that required attention. These include multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in December 2024, affecting apartments 2A and 4B, such as the need for window repairs, paint work, and window guard issues.
A December 2024 inspection noted both Class B and Class C violations in apartment 4B related to painted-over sprinkler caps and missing/repaired window guards. The building's history shows a mix of persistent issues, including past instances of bedbug infestations (with documentation from 2020-2022 showing at least two identified cases, though more recent filings from 2022-2024 report zero cases), and consistent passing results on rodent inspections over the past decade (2014-2024). A structural stability complaint was made in September 2023, but no violations were found during inspection.
