633 West 185th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

The three-story, four-unit building at 633 West 185th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Rave 4861 LLC, has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past few years. Most recently, in June 2024, there were concerns about egress problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the situation despite multiple attempts.

The building has a history of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by complaints in 2023 regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling and sidewalk shed problems, though no violations were found in the latter case. A more serious concern emerged in 2019 when an illegal conversion complaint resulted in an Oath violation. This same year, the building received three immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations related to failure to certify corrections, though these were later dismissed in March 2024 following payment of invoices.

Encouragingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. This suggests effective pest management practices have been implemented on the property. While the building's age (built in 1910) and history of access issues during inspections are notable, the recent closure of all violations and lack of bedbug incidents for multiple reporting periods indicates some improvement in overall building management and maintenance practices.
