520 West 184th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

520 West 184th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912, currently owned by 518 West 184th Street LLC. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues recently, with three emergency complaints filed between January 17 and January 22, 2025, all concerning the entire building. Notably, multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems have been filed in recent years, with similar issues noted as far back as 2018.

The building has also faced several pest-related challenges, with complaints in 2024 and 2021 about unsanitary conditions and pests, particularly affecting apartment 42 on the 4th floor, where violations were issued for roach infestation. Other notable incidents include a power outage in July 2022 (non-emergency), heavy water flow issues in January 2019, and multiple maintenance concerns such as paint/plaster work needed in August 2018 and various plumbing issues. The building's compliance record shows a generally careful handling of rodent control, with routine inspections conducted every few months, all of which have passed since at least 2015.

A thorough review of the bedbug reporting system shows no recorded infestations between 2017 and 2025. There have been two instances of complaints about illegal conversions in 2018 and 2021, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify conditions. While most housing maintenance violations have been addressed and closed promptly, the recurring heating and hot water issues suggest an ongoing challenge with building systems. The property has maintained an active response to complaints, though there have been several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification, particularly regarding heat and pest complaints in 2024 and 2021.
