611 West 163rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
611 West 163rd Street is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Riverside Flats LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple tenant complaints reported through 311 and HPD between October 2024 and February 2025, including four separate building-wide incidents in January 2025 alone. These complaints often required HPD inspectors to seek access to verify conditions, though access was frequently denied.
A concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 through early 2025, with repeated reports of heating issues continuing into February 2025 despite temporary restorations being confirmed during inspections. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including multiple plumbing issues reported in November 2024 (affecting sinks and radiators), and complaints regarding flooring conditions. Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in December 2024 revealed several safety concerns, including defective self-closing doors at bulkhead areas and illegal fastenings at doors, though these violations were subsequently closed.
An October 2024 rodent infestation complaint was noted in Apartment 2, 1st story, and various plumbing and bathroom maintenance issues were documented. The Department of Buildings has conducted regular inspections, with rodent inspections showing "Passed" results in 2022 and 2023, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in November 2021. The building's owners received multiple violations in 2021 for failing to file required energy benchmarking reports, though these were dismissed in 2024. Recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no evidence of infestation during the reporting periods, and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 also passed.
