603 West 187th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033

603 West 187th Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building in Washington Heights, owned by Jinwu Lin and constructed in 1910. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with pest control and health regulations over the past several years. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024, despite two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2023 regarding failure to file the annual bedbug report, both of which were subsequently resolved.

The property has maintained an exemplary record in rodent inspections, passing all required inspections from 2017 to 2025, indicating effective pest management systems in place. The building has experienced multiple complaints regarding potential illegal hotel room conversions in 2022, with four separate incidents reported between February and August of that year. However, three of these complaints were investigated with no violations found, and in the fourth case, inspector access was denied.

Additionally, there was one complaint in July 2022 related to adjacent buildings that was also determined to warrant no violations upon inspection. While the pattern of bedbug report violations and the cluster of illegal hotel room complaints in 2022 are worth noting, the subsequent resolution of these issues and the building's strong track record of rodent inspections suggest effective ongoing management. The most recent housing violation data available only extends to March 2023, so any subsequent issues would not be reflected in this report.
