831 West 176th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
831 West 176th Street is a 6-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, built in 1926 and currently owned by Arturo Hernandez. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, most notably relating to heat and hot water systems, with four separate complaints between December 2024 and January 2025 where HPD was unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections. The property has also encountered indoor air quality concerns in April 2025, and plumbing issues including toilet problems in February 2025.
Multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicated problems with water systems, including heavy flow water leaks and water supply issues, though no violations were issued following inspections. The building underwent a significant inspection of unit 2F in July 2024, revealing multiple violations including pest infestations (mice and roaches), mold presence, and various maintenance issues requiring repairs to surfaces, fixtures, and safety equipment, though these were certified as resolved by August 2024. The building's infrastructure appears to have experienced ongoing challenges, with emergency complaints about heat and hot water systems persisting through early 2025.
However, records show consistent passed inspections for rodent control from 2018 through 2025, indicating successful management of pest control requirements. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official filings from 2019 through 2025 showing zero affected units. While many service requests and violations have been resolved, the pattern of inspection access issues and recurring emergency complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent complaints about indoor air quality in 2025 and utilities inaccessibility remain notable concerns, though recent rodent inspection success and bedbug-free status are positive points.
