558 West 181st Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
558 West 181st Street is a 5-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Cg West 181st Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages reported between November 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent complaints from February 2025 also indicate plumbing problems related to radiators and unsanitary mold conditions.
The building has open violations regarding lead-based paint hazards and safety devices in Apartment C, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that were certified in January 2025. While illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2023 and 2024, inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. The property has a history of electrical safety concerns, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to unauthorized electrical work, lack of AFCI protection, and unapproved electrical equipment in Apartment 5K, though these were not resolved through normal channels.
Rodent activity has been documented intermittently, with the last inspection in February 2025 showing rat activity, though there have been recent "Passed" inspections in October 2024 and December 2023. The building's maintenance history shows both persistent heating system problems and varying success in addressing them, with multiple complaints closing without proper inspection access. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years.
