633 West 171st Street, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 31-unit, 5-story tenement at 633 West 171st Street in Washington Heights, built in 1914 and currently owned by Socratis Foradoulas, is experiencing several ongoing maintenance issues as of 2025. Four open complaints dated January 16 and April 27, 2025, indicate problems with unsanitary conditions (pests), water leakage (damp spots), and flooring issues. The building has a history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints between 2023-2025 regarding leaks, including a heavy flow incident in September 2024.
In late 2024, the building underwent significant inspections and received violations in apartment 32, including issues with flooring, plastered surfaces, and pest infestation (mice). There are also active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2022 regarding failure to comply with orders and work without permits, including a critical violation regarding blocked egress passageways and fire escape access, along with multiple penalties totaling $31,250. The property has shown some improvement in rodent management, with passed inspections in 2025 and 2024, though there were instances of rat activity noted during 2023 inspections.
Recent pest control reports for 2023-2024 indicate no current bedbug infestations, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The building has faced challenges with maintaining proper heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by a November 2023 complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues. While some maintenance issues have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections, multiple open complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has also been cited for failure to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2024, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues.
