569 West 192nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 29-unit, 5-story building at 569 West 192nd Street in Washington Heights, built in 1924, has experienced recurring heating and water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in both entire building and individual apartments between January and April 2025. Most recently, there is an open complaint about heavy water leakage as of May 2025. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with four open violations as of June 2025 related to electric/gas range appliances and general cooking gas.

A concerning pattern of lead paint violations emerged in 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2D, where multiple citations were issued requiring remediation of lead-based paint hazards. The building's heating system received particular attention in 2024, with violations pertaining to inadequate heat and hot water supply, as well as access issues to the heating system in the basement. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years of mandatory reporting (2021-2024).

However, there have been some rodent activity concerns, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in January and February. The building's management did receive one violation in 2024 related to failing to file a required energy benchmarking report, though this was subsequently dismissed in 2025. Historical inspection records from 2021-2024 show consistent passage of rodent inspections, indicating generally effective pest management, though recent inspections suggest emerging challenges in this area. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections and issued violations, all of which have been closed except for the most recent complaints, suggesting some responsiveness to previous issues despite the persistence of current problems.
