665 West 160th Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
Located in Washington Heights, 665 West 160th Street is a 6-story, 43-unit residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Joseph Ratner. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and February 2025, none of which were able to be inspected due to access issues. Recent inspections from September 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 6G, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), maintenance issues (broken kitchen cabinet wood base), and problems with the fire escape lock.
Apartment 2F was cited for bathroom tile and water leak issues, though some violations from this unit have since been certified corrected. The building's elevator has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2024 regarding lack of alternate service, resulting in Oath Violations being served. The property has several active Department of Buildings violations related to filing requirements, including failures to submit benchmarking reports and inspection documents between 2019 and 2023.
Environmental Control Board violations and penalties were issued in 2024 for elevator emergency phone and signage issues, which remain active. Historical data shows the building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2019, though there were noted rat activity and failed compliance inspections in 2018. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, and pest control measures appear to be functioning effectively based on recent inspections.
