560 West 186th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

The 36-unit, 5-story building at 560 West 186th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Jose Morillo, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since its construction in 1923. Most notably, there have been recurrent issues with heat and hot water across the entire building, with three emergency complaints filed between May 2024 and February 2024, though inspections either failed to gain access or found no violations in the most recent case.

The building has also faced several other significant maintenance issues, including multiple incidents of unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2019, an unresolved rodent infestation violation in apartment 2E (opened in 2019), and various housing maintenance code violations regarding bathroom tiles in apartment 4F (2023) and cooking gas issues in apartment 4B (2022). In addition to these recurring problems, the building has multiple active violations related to energy benchmarking requirements, with several failures to file required reports between 2021 and 2023, and to display energy efficiency scores.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last documented cases showing eradication in 2020-2021), the building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with basic services and infrastructure, including occasional water leaks (2023), window issues (2023), and various plaster/paint concerns. The property has regularly passed rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance.
