632 West 171st Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

632 West 171st Street is a 5-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights and owned by David Lulgjuraj. The property, constructed in 1916, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, most notably in January 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both entire building and individual apartment problems.

These heating system failures have been documented in various forms since 2018, suggesting an ongoing infrastructure challenge. The building recently underwent a detailed inspection in November 2024 that revealed several maintenance concerns in apartment 1E, including lead paint hazards, pest infestations (mice and roaches), mold, and issues with safety equipment like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - though all of these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024. The property has a notable history of regulatory interactions, including several Department of Buildings violations and Environmental Control Board issues in 2018-2020 related to construction work without proper permits and failure to maintain required safety measures.

While these were ultimately resolved, they indicate periods of construction management challenges. However, the building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing inspections from 2018 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight years. The most recent permit activity shows regular maintenance and improvement work being conducted, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2022 for various maintenance projects.
