558 West 189th Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

558 West 189th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building in Washington Heights, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple water leak complaints in 2025 (both slow and heavy flow) and window frame issues that remain open as of June 2025. There have been recurring problems with doors and windows, including a currently open door complaint from January 2025.

The building experienced heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in January 2025, which has since been resolved. The property has three apartments (3E, 4E, and 3B) with open violations related to lead-based paint hazards and safety requirements as of late 2024. Previous violations have included missing window guards in 4C (2024), security concerns with doors (2024), and various safety equipment issues in 4E (2023) such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by multiple closed complaints through HPD, though some issues remain unresolved. The property has maintained a stable pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and passed rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025. While there are currently active violations regarding energy efficiency reporting and lead-based paint compliance, the building has shown a pattern of addressing many maintenance issues when formally cited through HPD complaints and inspections.
