601 West 181St Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
601 West 181st Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 601 Resi Holdings LLC. The property has faced several significant issues over the past few years, with the most concerning being an active Department of Buildings (DOB) violation from 2022 regarding a fire escape between the 2nd and 3rd floors that was found to be in disrepair, with separated stair treads creating a hazardous condition.
The building has also accumulated multiple energy efficiency-related violations, including failure to file required benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores, with some of these violations dating back to 2020 and remaining active as of 2023. Recent health and safety concerns include multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints in 2024 regarding illegal animal sales (specifically turtles under 4 inches), mobile food vendors, and food contamination issues.
The building has undergone rodent control measures throughout 2024 and 2025, with inspections showing rat activity in late 2024, though previous inspections from 2019 to 2023 had passed. A significant cluster of complaints was recorded between 2021-2024, including multiple tenant safety inspections, plumbing issues, and concerns about work being done without proper permits, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being warranted. The building's management has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations as per annual reports from 2021 to 2024, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate ongoing monitoring and treatment of pest control issues.
