562 West 190th Street, Manhattan, NY 10040
The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 562 West 190th Street in Washington Heights, owned by George Pangis and constructed in 1916, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most significantly, there is currently an open complaint (as of April 2025) regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage. Between March and May 2025, multiple violations were documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including issues with flooring, walls, and pest infestations.
A comprehensive inspection of apartment 1C in September 2024 revealed numerous problems, including water leaks, electrical issues, missing safety devices (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector), and evidence of mice infestation, though these violations were certified as closed by October 2024. The building's recent history shows persistent pest control challenges, with multiple HPD rodent inspections in 2024-2025 consistently showing rat activity, most recently noted in May 2025. Garbage/recycling storage issues have been a recurring theme, with several complaints and violations documented between March and April 2025.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024). While there was a gas utility complaint investigated in 2018, it resulted in no violations. The building's recent violations and service requests primarily relate to sanitary conditions, structural maintenance, and pest control, with multiple instances requiring HPD intervention and the issuance of violations.
