630 West 172nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10032

The five-story, 25-unit tenement building at 630 West 172nd Street in Washington Heights, owned by Jmgd 172nd Llc, has experienced ongoing heating-related issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple Emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed regarding heat and hot water systems between December 2024 and February 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, the building was inspected following a rodent sighting complaint, which resulted in violations being noted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has also faced concerns about illegal conversions, with two complaints in 2024 regarding potential unauthorized apartments or units, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits.

Previous violations and complaints show a pattern of maintenance issues, including a notable cluster of heat-related complaints in January 2025, though many of these were addressed or found to be resolved upon follow-up inspections. The property has undergone several inspections between 2019 and 2025 for various violations, with particular attention to building systems and safety features. These include issues with self-closing doors, heating systems, and unauthorized modifications.

The building's Bedbug Reporting history shows zero infested units reported in the past several years, indicating effective pest management practices. Environmental Control Board violations from December 2022 noted blocked passageways and maintenance issues in the basement area, though these were subsequently resolved. Regular rodent inspections have occurred, with most recent results showing either compliance or passed inspections, though the June 2025 inspection failed for "Other Reasons." While the building has had multiple violations over the years, the majority appear to be addressed through proper channels, with recent inspections focusing on both immediate resident concerns and broader building maintenance issues.
