735 West 172nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
735 West 172nd Street is a 5-story, 56-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Margaret Brunn. The property is currently experiencing significant issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in May 2025 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide outages, leading to inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building also has an open emergency complaint from June 2025 regarding unsanitary mold conditions. A comprehensive inspection in October 2024 revealed several building-wide violations, including issues with fire retardant materials, egress obstruction, and various maintenance problems such as defective cabinets and plumbing fixtures in apartment B2. While there are also open violations from October 2024 related to the 1st-story public hall, including required repairs and maintenance, these had not been resolved as of the latest data.
The building's maintenance history shows a notable pattern of heat and hot water issues during 2025, suggesting persistent infrastructure problems affecting resident comfort. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past four years, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have all passed. However, violations from 2021-2023 related to energy efficiency requirements and an illegal laundry room installation in the cellar with improper venting to the interior courtyard indicate historical challenges with building code compliance.
