583 West 177th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

583 West 177th Street is a 5-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, built in 1913 and currently owned by David Eshaghoff. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding doors, windows, and water leaks that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete. Of particular concern is an open door-related emergency complaint filed in May 2025.

The building has also faced significant heating and hot water issues, with violations recorded in December 2024 for inadequate hot water supply in apartments 42 and 52, as well as heating problems in apartment 42. Additional maintenance violations have included a December 2024 violation for leaky kitchen faucets in apartment 52, and multiple issues in apartment 34 in November 2024 involving mold, and pest infestations. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring source of problems, particularly with the boiler.

Department of Buildings records show active violations from June 2023 and November 2019 for failure to file boiler inspection reports, and a 2021 complaint regarding defective boiler components. While the building has maintained an active bedbug control program with zero infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2024), the rodent inspections show inconsistent results, with passed inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there were failed inspections in 2018. The property has experienced recurring issues with self-closing doors, as evidenced by multiple violations across different inspection periods, affecting both individual apartments and common areas. While many violations have been certified as closed, the recent open door-related complaints and ongoing maintenance issues suggest continuing challenges with building maintenance and systems.
