510 West 188th Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 6-story, 34-unit building at 510 West 188th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced persistent heating and electrical issues in early 2025. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint regarding a power outage filed in May 2025, following multiple heating and hot water complaints between February and April 2025, with some building-wide issues and others affecting individual apartments. The building, constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has also faced recurring maintenance challenges in apartment 44, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021, including issues with plastered surfaces, doors, window guards, and bathroom fixtures.

A bedbug infestation was reported in December 2024, affecting two units though they were reported as eradicated, marking the first such issue reported in several years; previous infestations occurred in 2019 (3 units) and 2020 (1 unit). The building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of rodent inspections, consistently passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025. The property has undergone various inspections and been subject to multiple complaints regarding building systems.

In 2024, there was a complaint about the elevator service, and in 2022 another concerning the boiler, though no violations were found in either case. While the building's age and history of maintenance issues are notable, recent rodent inspection results suggest successful pest management in that regard. The pattern of heating system complaints in early 2025 indicates ongoing challenges with building infrastructure, particularly related to temperature control which has been a recurring issue throughout the year.
