599 West 187th Street, Manhattan, NY 10040
The five-story, 5-unit building at 599 West 187th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Francisco Hernandez and constructed in 1910, is currently facing significant heating system issues as evidenced by multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in March 2025 that required HPD intervention. Notably, there has been consistent non-compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirement, with open violations listed from 2021 through 2024 indicating failure to file the necessary reports.
The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. The property has experienced fluctuating rodent inspection results in recent years, with the most recent April 2025 inspection passing, while previous inspections in late 2023 showed rat activity.
A concerning pattern emerges in the heating system maintenance history, with the most recent complaints indicating accessibility issues during inspection attempts. While the building has passed several important inspections and compliance checks over the years, the combination of ongoing heat system complaints, bedbug reporting violations, and inconsistent rodent control measures suggests several areas requiring attention for resident comfort and safety. The property currently maintains an active rodent control program, as evidenced by passing inspections in 2022, 2019, and most recently in 2025, though there were periods of non-compliance noted in 2023 and 2024 inspections.
