1641 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
The five-story, 41-unit New Law tenement building at 1641 St Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, built in 1922 and currently owned by Shimon Greisman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. There have been three heat/hot water complaints in 2025, and two in early 2025, all involving the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in these cases.
The building has also faced sanitation challenges, with a pigeon-related complaint in March 2025 and multiple rat activity inspections showing consistent problems in 2022-2025. Significant interior maintenance issues were documented in 2024, particularly in apartments 2A and 4D, where violations included problems with plumbing, damaged floor tiles, ceiling plaster, and rodent infestations.
The building experienced a power outage in June 2024, and the fall of 2024 saw several non-violation inspections related to paint/plaster and door/window conditions. Historical records show concerns about illegal conversions and various construction violations between 2018-2021, with associated penalties including a $2,500 fine in 2021 for improper AC installations and ongoing compliance issues. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for several years, with the last reported infestation in 2019-2020, the recent rodent activity inspections indicate continuing challenges with pest control.
