712 West 175th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

712 West 175th Street is a 5-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights, owned by Sergio Kielmanowicz and constructed in 1925. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with four separate water leak complaints documented in October 2023, including instances of heavy flow and damp spots, which led to HPD violations and required inspections. More recently, in March 2024, another substantial water leak was reported and closed three months later.

The building has also faced safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in apartment 3B, where multiple violations were noted in a June 2024 inspection. These included issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and plastered surfaces, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building's security systems have come under scrutiny, with violations issued in July 2024 regarding an illegal electromagnetic locking device and the need for an acceptable heavy-duty lock for power outages at the front entrance.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with numerous rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 consistently passing, though there was one failure noted in July 2021 for unspecified reasons. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations or related issues. The building's management has faced some administrative challenges, as evidenced by two benchmarking violations in 2020, though these were later dismissed upon confirmation of submission. While there have been multiple Day Care facility complaints filed with DOHMH between 2022 and 2025, these were all closed without specifying the nature of the issues.
